[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a waste of time. I feel like this is distracting from the actual problems. I'm an alum interviewer for a selective school and I can tell you it's hard to get in even if you are a legacy. They are rejected more than they are accepted. If they get in with a 4.0 and 1500 where they otherwise wouldn't (and in my experience, they aren't), who gives a sh*t? [/quote] then why bother with legacy, and why are you an interviewer there? [img]https://hilite.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/w.chu_.legacies.4.27.jpg[/img][/quote] These numbers tell you nothing about the qualifications of the applicants. There are very few sources for that information, but those that are availalbe suggest that these legacies are often very qualified. Admission rates are not very useful by themselves.[/quote] If these legacies are very qualified by themselves, that's a very good reason to get rid of it. Same for URM.[/quote]
