Saw this CD column about legacy on Reddit and thought I'd share my thoughts

<p>Dean J – with 30k (or whatever it is) applications, you no doubt have tons of well qualified applicants to pick from. </p>

<p>But I’m guessing that the yield on your OOS legacy admits (who get some help for admissions) is a good bit higher than the yield on the OOS admit pool generally. And as compared to the overall pool, probably more full pay-ish. So it would make a lot of sense for UVA to have its policy of giving some admissions help to OOS legacies.</p>
