That he is a legacy really isn't the point. Ignore that fact. And I know that the Penn undergraduate admissisions process is "holistic and extremely subjective." So is every other school's. Nothing new there.
I don't want to go into details but there was every indication that he was expected to apply ED. This is based on email exchanges, two visits, and favorable feedback provided to the Admissions office from the Huntsman kids he stayed with. The opinion here is that his failure to apply ED was taken as a lack of sufficient interest and that's why he was waitlisted. |
