[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No legacies from Langley? as if 98% of the McLean parents are college graduates? Right.[/quote]

Majority of kids got into Ivy league schools from Langley High are Asians.  These kids are not legacies at all.  They are the second-generation immigrants.  Of course, their parents are highly-educated professionals in IT or other areas.    [/quote]

It's entirely possible that at least some are legacies.  Plenty of Asian Americans [b]who attended college in the US in the late 80s and early 90s [/b]have college aged children now and they are all applying.[/quote]

Yes, these Asian Americans came to the US to attend graduate schools to get master's and PhDs.  Some of them went to Ivy league schools.  But their kids are not legacies.  Only an applicant is regarded as a legacy because a parent or other relative attended the same school [b]as an Undergraduate student[/b].  [/quote]
 Not true about Asian Americans only going to ivy grad schools.My relatives live over in Fairfax and all 3 kids graduated from Langley.  The parents all went to undergrad in the US. My cousin went to Cornell and Columbia.  Her spouse graduated from undergrad at Stanford.  They and their other Asian American friends are not IT workers.  Many are lawyers, phDs in psychology, MDs, engineers and consultants as quite a few have MBAs.  My parents came over in the 70s for grad school and I came with them before I was speaking any language.  I attended an Ivy League undergrad and am in my mid 40s but had kids late.  They will be legacy if they should choose to apply to my alma later.[/quote]
