[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard has a lot of legacy kids and a lot of kids from prestigious and influential families. Who you are family-wise is probably why 50% of the kids are at Harvard. This was recently explained to me by a friend who teaches at Harvard. It was enough of a turnoff to my kid that he refused to apply. He ultimately chose MIT and is happy there. He said MIT kids don’t mix with Harvard hardly at all[/quote] It's kind of silly to focus on the total number of legacy kids at an Ivy. DH went to an Ivy. DC has way better grades and ECs than DH had. DC's scores would put DC above the 75 percentile. DC would count as a legacy. I'm sure this isn't a unique situation.[/quote]
