if you were to compare the stats of the average legacy applicant to the stats of the average applicant, the stats of the legacy would be higher. However, if you compared the stats of the average legacy applicant to the average applicant excluding recruited athletes, URMs, and development admits, the average stats would be somewhat, but not a lot, lower.

I would say this is a fair judgement. …
I would say top or near top ranked legacy kids from a well regarded HS are most likely get accepted. However top or near top ranked non legacy kids from the same HS may not likely be accepted. … I don’t have to look far beyond our local HS.
