Yes that was clear from the dataset that came out in the Harvard FAIR litigation. |
Agree. HYPS needs to be avoided by top applicants. ED to another school and call it a win. |
Actually the opposite. 33% of legacy kids were admitted. You think all those families were donating 10 figures or on the board? There’s a reason they have a Z list. It’s not for legacy. |
+1. My kids skipped SCEA as a legacy at Princeton and both were accepted ED at other ivies. The are happy with their choice. |
What about kids who have legacy to an HYPS but apply to a HYPS where they don’t have legacy? The colleges can see where parents attended so will that hurt them? |
Perhaps the double stupidity of 1) applying to any SCEA whatsoever and 2) applying to the one without legacy will hurt them. |
false. |
DD is legacy at Yale, but applied REA to Stanford and got accepted. Don’t know what would’ve happened at Yale RD as she didn’t apply after Stanford acceptance. |
You do realize that HYPS legacies can and do have plenty of other hooks too that have nothing to do with family donations? |
Why can't you spell out the words instead of just writing acronyms? |
HYPS - Harvard Yale Princeton Stanford
REA - restricted early action (Stanford) SCEA - single choice early action (HYP) ED - early decision |
