[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student gets into an Ivy, chances are the parents are legacy too [b]or went to a different Ivy[/b]. Top athletes, First gen, and [b]children of civil service workers[/b] seem to be the only exception.[/quote] What a weird understanding of college admissions. I'm curious, what does Yale do for children of Dartmouth alumni? As far as I know, colleges only ask if the applicant had any family attend the college, they don't ask where the parents attended. And when did children of civil service workers start to get boosts in college admissions? What would the rationale be for Princeton to let in the children of a bunch of GS-13s? Do you think they want more dads who were ties with short sleeve shirts? And according to the data from the Harvard affirmative action case, legacy admits as a whole had higher GPAs and SAT scores than other admits, even if their odds of admission were much higher than comparable applicants.
