[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard has a legacy admit rate of over 30% so I say the Harvard legacies are in good shape. [/quote] you're missing the point--they're not. Our Big3 had ONE harvard admit last year and at least 20 kids were alums (that's just the ones I know-between both parents). <5% admit rate at this top school. That's the thing--30% legacy admit rate does work if there is a super high rate of alums at one high school. harvard is not going to dole out 8 admits to legacy kids from a single DC private. [/quote] The basic point is that there will be fewer kids going to HYPS etc. than there are parents in that school who went there. [/quote] yes, at least an order of magnitude less. [/quote]
