Yes -- you can google the Harvard legacy admit stats. Here's an article for the PU legacy admit stats:

To answer your question -- ten years is a long time to make a prediction...the rules of the game may change. Basic rule of thumb...make sure your kid gets the best scroes and grades possible. I know one kid from Holton whose family had very high networth...with great grades and test scores who was waitlisted at PU...probably didn't have enough high-level activities to match great grades/test scores.

 Holton mom #2, is it really true that legacy kids get into Princeton and Harvard with 35%? That seems high.

My kids a double Princeton (as many are). What would be his chances with decent grades and decent SATs in about 10 years, would you say?

My answer to those who think 35% is high for legacies: Think of the six or seven out of ten legacies who don't get in, and you can see it from another perspective.
