Our hs had a seminar for parents of Jrs and brought in 4 Admissions officers…

FWIW , strong legacey = REAL money.
The guy rolled his eyes when he told of parents who where hopping mad their darling didn’t get in–yet the school had not heard from mom/dad (ie checkbook) for the last 25yrs…

One Admissions officer of a very popular well know state flagship said she could read an app in under 15 minutes–that they took the thousands of apps–and sorted by scores.
Those with too low a GPA/score got aut-rejects.
Those in the lowish-almost got put into the read (consider) pile…
…and those with the amazing stats etc got auto-accepts.
