[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy. The kid who has two H alumni parents and is also an athlete/URM gets the spot for H![/quote] Or what typically happens is that the spot (singular) goes to an unconnected URM and the Harvard legacies go 0/20. Its wild at the Big3 schools. It's just crazy that you have this many Ivy grads who are outlier successes stories for their universities (CEOs, managing partners at their law firms, people with national prominence in their fields, etc) and none of their (very bright) kids will get into their parent's alma mater. [/quote] It's called reversion to the mean, not surprising.[/quote]
