[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lower quartile of test scores/grades getting into elite colleges are comprised of athletes, full pays, legacies and URMs.[/quote] this is totally false.[/quote] Do tell.[/quote] https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-09-08/stop-bashing-harvard-s-legacy-students [i]A 2010 Harvard study of 30 elite colleges found that "legacy" applicants actually had slightly higher than average SAT scores [b]than the overall pool of applicants[/b]. In other words, there is no evidence that elite schools are letting in underqualified kids in order to please their parents, er, donors.[/i][/quote] Compared to the entire pool. Try looking at the disparity for admitted students, legacy/non-legacy.[/quote] You do it. The data speaks for itself.[/quote]
