Do you know legacy applicants admitted with lesser stats and/or lesser ECs?

I'm not that PP, but no. TBH, there were 3 legacy applicants in DC's class. Two were top students as was the third, but in the second to highest not tippy top math class (four total). That student had an EC that very few have, so admitted. The second got rejected at ED1/2 schools, but admitted to Princeton in RD. The third, a female of color, also in the top classes, great ECs, and impressive parents who were both alum...was rejected in whatever Princeton uses for ED. Can't make any sense of that. Great kid, friend of DC. [/quote]

So out of the 3 applicants, the double legacy applicant was the one rejected with top classes and ECs, and the other two were admitted? One of the admitted students took the second highest math class but had a unique EC?

Interesting…. [/quote]
