[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]black or Hispanic much better chance with those stats

Is it fair personally I don't think so but it is what it is[/quote]

same with white athletes and white legacy applicants.[/quote]

Legacy is not the advantage that you think it is. I have twice had kids strike out at my alma mater despite scores within their middle 50%. Perhaps if I gave more.[/quote]

+1. Legacy advantage is vastly overstated.[/quote]

Except at Harvard -- which accepts way more legacies as a percentage of admits than anyplace else.

However, they have so many alums, legacy is no guarantee.[/quote]

Legacy admit rate at Harvard is 5x the regular admit rate.

Legacy admit rate at Stanford is 3x the regular admit rate.

Legacy admit rate at Yale is 4x the regular admit rate.

Legacy admit rate at Princeton is 4x the regular admit rate.

Decide for yourself whether this is an advantage or not.

Nope, can't tell from the info provided. You have to look at the stats of the kids in each group. [/quote]
