<p>Nancy: Why do you find the need to attack someone who tries to help and give a rough number?</p>
<p>Considering ED students already are accepted at double the rate of normal applications, 2-3x isn’t crazy. And, having been on the student admissions committee, I do know that legacies are on the list of positives for applications, even though it isn’t particularly high on that list.</p>
<p>Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that the children of any graduates from a top LAC are going to have opportunities and background that most other Americans have, thus positioning them for a school like Swarthmore.</p>
<p>If ID knows anything, he knows his statistics. Please stop being so hostile and aggressive, it makes the whole discussion unpleasant. If you want to challenge him, just send a private message or something.</p>
