[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why it is in the interest of the university for legacy admissions to continue - outside of donations?[/quote] I thought the point of legacy admissions was that those kids are more likely to accept the offer and to graduate, so it helps the college's stats. A friend whose kid worked in admissions said the "boost" given by being a legacy was that three AOs looked at those applications. You hear about how little time the average application gets, and I don't know why people are so shocked -- a lot of applicants just aren't right for the college. But at this place, if your parents went there and you weren't going to get in, there would at least be three people looking over your materials: No. Nope. Newp.[/quote]
