<p>TheUniversity, I did not expect Dean J to answer my question. Now you take out my right to guess.
For the first guess, I actually get from the admission officers from Stanford two year ago when the economy is good. The officer said there are so many good students apply for economics/business, they can accept a whole class using economical students. So it is reasonable to guess that once they have enough econ major students, there is no more space available for econ applicants anymore.
For the second guess, even though it is cyncial, I actually heard a sucessful student who get into H and his father is in jail. We never know if it is because of it or not. He overcame obstacle in life and that is for sure.</p>
<p>For the third guess, everyone knows that Asian is ORM. My kid’s Princeton interviewer bluntly told that 40% of legacy admitted and some spaces are reserved due to AA, your chance is much lower than the percent which Princeton claims.
BTW, thanks for calling me ignorance and rudeness.
OkieDAD, congratulations for your son in UVa.</p>
