[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian and Blacks fighting for scraps while legacies applying ED are getting in with sub-par stats. Know thy enemy. It’s not the few black kids getting in. [/quote] OK - but as the alumni base gets more racially diverse, which it is, doesn’t the composition of legacies also diversify? Full disclosure, I’m a black alumnus of HYP, but neither of my parents attended accredited colleges and both grew up in Jim Crow south, so we’re not talking about some long line of HYP graduates here…far from it. Just want to push back on the idea of getting rid of legacy admits BECAUSE they trend white. Plenty of other reasons to drop legacy admits tho’. And my kids seem to have plenty going for them then to need a leg up into the ivies.[/quote] PP here - just want to add that attending a HYP was as absolute game-changer for me, but wouldn’t be for my kids, who occupy a world that would have been completely foreign to me growing up.[/quote]
