[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any anecdotes of siblings/legacies that didn't get admission? And if so - what did the PSDs say? I understand at some schools this is a leg up (and they offer an early decision) - so curious why some folks may be told no.[/quote] Rumor is that 1 in 3 legacy applicants are offered a spot at our TT. If they took everyone, there would be zero room for new families. So I think the legacy kid has to be a robust applicant. Siblings that didn’t make the cut— the news often comes from the admissions department at the ongoing school directly. And they are candid. Some kids are just not the right fit.[/quote] One in three is still a big leg up compared to the usual odds. I assume in this case even legacy plus sibling status doesn’t act as a guarantee if your child isn’t a fit. [/quote] *Huge* leg up. 33% odds vs 5% Legacy plus sibling still doesn’t get the square peg in the round hole.[/quote]
