We do too VLP and we also know a near perfect sat legacy who was rejected from Yale. It’s crazy at the top (and pretty sure she had no hook other than that).
What I’m wondering is whether you believe that legacy at UChicago gives a 50th-75th percentile applicant with a national merit designation and a knack for writing good essays an edge over those tippy-tippy tops who are not legacies. In D3’s case it’s a good fit but she prefers EA to one of the ED’s so she won’t have an edge there. Also we were grad school not undergrad so wondering if that’s still a legacy. Heck in our day there really wasn’t much of an undergraduate program!
Just afraid she’ll get deferred unless her stats are above the 75th. Especially given that there is an EDII.
