Role of Legacy

This will probably make @waitingmomla mad, but check out how Gtown describes its legacy program (really no big deal) versus its description of ND’s.

Gtown has one-third the legacy students that ND does. But (like ND) has a legacy admit rate about double the overall admit rate.

You could certainly argue the legacy strength/boost is the same (2X versus 2X). You could also argue that the 7 vs. 24% differential is because the Gtown spawn just don’t drink the Kool Aid at the rate that the ND kids do. But that seems like a stretch to me.
