| I am a legacy, have a 3.7/3.8ish GPA, am NOT in the top quartile of my class, and was accepted. My parents do not donate much more than 100 dollars a year. The other legacy from my school was also accepted. At Preview Days, there seemed to be a lot of legacies too. I really don't think there is a secret agenda. I am sad for LaxFan and Loki's son or daughter, but honestly, not every qualified legacy applicant can get in. Lots of qualified non-legacy applicants get rejected or waitlisted too. Maybe I and the other legacy admits this year just somehow "fit" into the class better (you know that whole thing about having well-rounded classes...). |
