[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He did apply priority decision by the 11/1 deadline. He had the math score, his reading was a little below, but close. He is Asian. Do you think that would be why? The whole B is an Asian F thing?[/quote] Straight from Wikipedia: [i]Legacy preferences in comparison to other programmes At some schools, legacy preferences have an effect on admissions comparable to other factors such as being a recruited athlete or affirmative action. One study of three selective private research universities in the United States showed the following effects (admissions disadvantage and advantage in terms of SAT points on the old 1600-point scale): Blacks: +230 Hispanics: +185 Asians: –50 Recruited athletes: +200 Legacies (children of alumni): +160[6][/i] So for Asian applicants, SAT is automatically deducted by 50 points.
