<p>hm, i’m a little confused about where the 45% came from. let’s assume the total number of admitted students was N, and all the admitted legacies decided to come… then the number of admitted legacies is about 0.15N (I’m rounding numbers to make this easy) and if that’s about 1/3 of the number that applied then about 0.45N legacies applied… but if only about 10% of all applicants were admitted, then a total of about 10N people applied, and 0.45/10 = 0.045 = 4.5%</p>
<p>or am I totally making things up?</p>
<p>… never mind me. finals are killing my ability to do mental gymnastics… :P</p>
