[quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks playing some sport or having a parental legacy justifies a 15 times greater acceptance rate to Princeton over someone who does other similarly demanding extracurricular activities/has better grades/etc. is plain delusional in my honest experience. I cannot believe that there are some students getting in with a 3.2 GPA or lower at some of these Ivies according to the table on post 2. This isn't a personal matter. You're the one who chose to make it one. Maybe instead of focusing on "your kid vs. my kid" why not think big picture? I have no qualms in a holistic process in which special talents are given a boost. However, if your special talent is not only giving you a huge boost but is also letting you get in with a mediocre GPA (at HWS, not having a 4.3+ means being outside of the top 20% by GPA), that's troubling.
