[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Penn makes it official I think they will be 1st ivy to end legacy admissions. Right now it's slimmed down - no suggestion for legacies to apply ED and no special orientation tour and it's merely "considered".

Stanford may do it too. They already separate "development admits" as a different category than legacy.

Penn I hate them now.  They told we alums for forty years that children should apply ED.  Then quietly changed this which I didn’t notice while my kid was applying last year. Applied ED with excellent grades, recs, from a school that penn likes, and 36 ACT.  Denied.  Schools prefer first gen now.  [/quote]

We dislike Penn for similar reasons. I don't mind at all that they are not considering legacy but they kept encouraging kids to apply ED for legacy to matter and many kids wasted their ED on Penn keeping this is mind. I think if they had explicitly stated that legacy (if not a donor) does not matter, most people would not have hated them so much.[/quote]
