[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a "big 3" alum and it is shocking how many of the kids were legacies. I knew it'd be high but it's almost 25%!! The other 50% seem to be siblings of older students. It's tough out there to get in without a hook. [/quote] And then you throw in faculty kids, VIP, DEI admits....there's only a handful of spots left for everyone else. [/quote] ... DEI? Really? None of these schools are swimming in diversity. [/quote] While that may be true, but the DEI admits do contribute to the overall group that has advantage in the admissions process including legacies, siblings, VIP kids, faculty kids, athletes in certain sports and graduates of “feeder” schools. Those without any of these advantages want a completely level playing field. The school, however, has constituencies it has to satisfy.[/quote]
