[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legacies are less than 20 percent of the class at the top Ivies these days. Let’s say they are evenly split between private and public schools, which would mean greater percentage at private schools given how many fewer they are. Numbers are still far too small to account for enrolled classes at Ivies being 35 to 45 percent private school grads. [/quote] Again, you're not controlling for the number of kids from private versus public who are actually applying to these schools. Which brings me again to the podunk public school in Nebraska . . . Or, even closer to home, public schools in the DMV. Even at the best of them, it's pretty clear that a far lower percentage of them are applying to Ivies than the privates. [/quote]
