At top ten schools, what % of class is left for the totally unhooked.

<p>Not hard to get to 40% at least</p>

<p>17% for URMs
17% for legacies
4 % athletes
1% art and music
1% “development admits” (e.g parents millions or are celebrities)
(less than 1%) Professors children</p>

<p>URM’s on an aggregate basis will typically have SATs generally 200 points lower on the new scale - however we don’t know exact figures as the universities have tried to hide these numbers, but we do from know other sources such as from prior litigation (along with the discovery processes) that on the old scale - variations in the 150 point range were common</p>

<p>Bottom line is URM status would be like getting 150 to 200 points added to one’s SAT scores -based on the 2400 scale</p>

<p>“Development Admits” (while not higher in quantity) will sometimes be qualified or very close, however will often be well below norms -and this has been recently been made public in regards to Brown’s admission process</p>

<p>The legacies show little if any variation in the raw stats vs the norm for the entering class, although they do have a clear edge over a non-legacy (all things equal) competitive applicant. Most legacies still don’t get admitted at most of the elites, particularly the top 3. </p>

<p>Athletes no doubt have lower stats on average - however this of course would include in many cases others who might also be classified as URM.</p>

<p>Arts and Music probably around the same stats or close</p>
