[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is how I understand the legacy data: - If you have the stats - astronomic GPA, top of class, highest rigor, SATs- you are more likely to get in. - If you don't have the stats, legacy doesn't give you enough of a boost to be considered. You are only "more likely" to get in if you are an actual, legitimate, candidate for admission. [/quote] And in a world where there are 7 or 8 legitimate candidates for admissions for every spot, the legacy tip means admission rates significantly higher than similarly situated applicants who are not legacy.[/quote] Being raised in South Dakota, or the ethnicity/education level of your parents, are also hooks. None of which the student had any control over and did nothing to get. But will give a student an advantage over equally qualified candidates. It's all about the priorities of the university. They get to choose what kind of preference they give equally qualified candidates. [/quote]
