[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell from our naviance that 1520 and up kids get into HYP. No real difference btw red and green in that zone. Still lots more red[/quote]

DP: but the ones who got in could be legacy with lower score [/quote]

That's not a thing. Data indicates legacy admit scores skew higher not lower than other admits. Harvard rejects tons of legacies every year.[/quote]

Among the admitted legacies, grades and test scores were indistinguishable from non-legacy students. Both groups had an average SAT score that surpassed 1430. Once on campus, legacy students tended to have slightly higher college grades, but their involvement in campus activities, merit awards, academic recognition and on-time graduation rates were indistinguishable from non-legacy students. In sum, legacy students, on average, were about as academically strong as non-legacy students, neither superior nor inferior."

Butt that doesn't mean it's fair!

Consist this scenario (with made-up numbers)
 
1000 top legacy applicants with similar stats as 10000 top non legacy applicants.
500 of each are admitted.[/quote]
