[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what it means that so few children of GU alumni want to attend. Seems concerning to me. [/quote]

Considering that GU yield rate for legacies (63%) is right around the same as ND's regular yield rate (60%), I would say that there is a high probability ND's yield rate for legacies is close to 70%.  I don't know if that number is published anywhere, but surely, it is higher than 63%.

Yes. But, granting that GU graduates smart people, who probably go on to have smart children, there are probably lots of qualified GU legacies who seem to be deciding not even to apply. [/quote]

This claim is specious at best. I know plenty of Georgetown graduates with kids who also went to Georgetown. Including my own.[/quote]

What is specious? 7.6% is 7.6% Much lower than some other institutions. So, they are either a) not applying, or b) applying and not being accepted, or c) being accepted and choosing not to attend. We have data for c- 63%, so that doesn't seem to be the answer. So is it a or b? [/quote]
