[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school everyone knew who was a legacy and who was going for sport. The kids strategically structured their early round admissions around those kids, figuring they had an easier chance going for a school that didn't have a likely legacy in the early round.[/quote]

yep, at these small privates (70-120 kids), everyone knows who is a legacy or an athlete.  Because the kids are pretty much friends by senior year and the parents emblazon their linked-in pages or company websites with their own college pedigrees.  Legacy status is not information commonly kept close to the chest.  There are some kids who float around the periphery and remain more of a mystery but it's nothing like a public school class of 500 where you know absolutely nothing about 350 of your classmates or their college plans.

How dare these boastful parents post their educational histories on their linked in or company "who we are" pages. So distasteful. [/quote]

+1. Also, how many hours did pp spend checking out the LinkedIn pages of all 120 of her kid's classmates' parents?[/quote]
