[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need for Georgetown to change. Why should they? The only reason would be to get more applicants so they can lower their acceptance rate and increase their ranking. But guess what? Thankfully, they're not focused on that. They take applications from only those who truly want to attend, so they yes, they get fewer applicants. But the students who attend, do so happily. Jesuit spirit alive and well at Georgetown.[/quote]

We saw much lower stat legacy continually getting in from our school—much lower scores/gpa, etc.  I’m all for legacy if they have stats consistent with the unhooked candidates, but come on.  [/quote]

These comments always get me. Why do people think they know other kids' "stats" so well?[/quote]

There are these things called Naviance and SCOIR. It provides test scores and gpa.[/quote]

And it's anonymous.[/quote]

It tells you the grades/scores of the kids that were accepted, correct. The kids talk about --mom, dad, sibling, etc. went there or the parents themselves note they are alum.  In the same way the kids know who got recruited as an athlete.
