[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is important to parse donor influence from legacy. There is overlap but these are two different groups in terms of admissions. Your $1,000/year contributions don't get you in the donor bucket.[/quote] It would be interesting to see a detailed breakdown of legacy admits to see who exactly is getting in. At the Ivies it's been known for a long time that mere legacy alone isn't enough. It has to be legacy + something else, like major donor, famous parent, impressive accomplishments etc. I do think legacy is a bit of a red herring. It's easy for people to attack it but behind the label is a much more varied story. [/quote]
