[quote=Anonymous]Your kid needs to check a lot of boxes. The seats are limited. Take for example Dartmouth. 2000 seats, 50/50 M/F. So a 1000 seats. 10% international. That leaves 900. Legacies and big donors - 15%. That leaves 900-150=750. Then you need athletes to fill those sports -25%. 750-250= 500. URMs - 10%. First Gen=10%. Arts/Music kids - orchestra needs musicians... and so on. If they can admit a kid who plays a sport from North Dakota: that kid checks 2 boxes: sports and geographic diversity. Legacy URM that plays the violin - that’s 3 boxes checked. [/quote]
