[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, admitted legacies don’t have to put as much on the scale as admitted non-legacies because their legacy status is that extra thumb. Non-legacies have to be better to overcome the legacy preference. That’s what preference means. [/quote] In our school it's the legacy VIP that get an extra thumb despite clearly lower credentials (yet - let's be clear - they will do just fine at the college). The plain legacy who are accepted are typically among the strongest students - are they point for point as strong as their peers that get rejected - who knows? But within this high achiever group - that doesn't matter so much. But it is clear that the legacy pushed them ahead of their similarly qualified peers.[/quote]
