[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our experience as legacy families, it is all about money and in terms of BIG BUCKs.  like 7 to 8 digits.  We never could afford to give that much and SURPRISE  DS didn't get in as a EA applicant and triple legacy[/quote]

Th[b]at’s on your kid. It can’t be all about legacy and 7 or 8 figures. The legacy pool isn’t that wealthy. [/quote][/b]

No, it wasn't.  first in their class.  36 ACT.  etc. etc. etc. Eagle scout.  He had everything but our family can't afford donations like that.  He was a legacy through me at Harvard.  Triple legacy at Yale, including faculty (tenured) and tenured faculty advocating with admissions.  Didn't help  They don't want white kids from an alleged "privileged bACKGROUND".  HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?[/quote]

My[b] kid is at Yale and I can attest that there are plenty of white and Asian kids from privileged backgrounds walking around campus [/qu[/b]ote]

AND ..... the legacy parents gave 7 to 8 digits.  How do you not know this? I am from a Yale family who had no money and could not provide the requisite (7 or 8 digit) donation requirement.  Our kid had every single box checked. He was also a Yale young global scholar.  Three legacy connections and one faculty.

DIDN"T matter. We couldn't afford the Harvard (my legacy) or Yale prerequisites so kid got the expected "soft deferral".

Kid is at Oxford working on his DPhil.  The US has gone mad.  Go abroad for education[/quote]
