发帖数: 6339 | 1 Harvard’s acceptance rate for legacies has hovered around 30 percent—more
than four times the regular admission rate—in recent admissions cycles,
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons ’67 told The
Crimson in an interview this week.
Fitzsimmons also said that Harvard’s undergraduate population is comprised
of approximately 12 to 13 percent legacies, a group he defined as children
of Harvard College alumni and Radcliffe College alumnae.

Conclusions
Critics of affirmative action in American higher education sometimes lose
sight of the fact that elite universities give added weight to many
different
types of student characteristics. In this article, we examine the roles
played by
preferences for athletes and children of alumni. Based on complete data for
three applicant cohorts to three of the most academically selective research
universities, we show that admission bonuses for athletes and legacies rival,
and sometimes even exceed, the size of preferences for underrepresented mi-
nority applicants. Being African American instead of white is worth an
average
of 230 additional SAT points on a 1600-point scale, but recruited athletes
reap an advantage equivalent to 200 SAT points. Other things equal, His-
panic applicants gain the equivalent of 185 points, which is only slightly
more
than the legacy advantage, which is worth 160 points. Coming from an Asian
background, however, is comparable to the loss of 50 SAT points.

At some schools, legacy preferences have an effect on admissions comparable
to other factors such as being a recruited athlete or affirmative action.
One study of three selective private research universities in the United
States showed the following effects (admissions disadvantage and advantage
in terms of SAT points on the old 1600-point scale):
Blacks: +230
Hispanics: +185
Asians: -50
Recruited athletes: +200
Legacies (children of alumni): +160 | g******4

=======================================
It’s that magical time: Your son or daughter is a high school senior,
applying to colleges, one of which is Boston College. You are a BC Law
School graduate. Does this have any bearing on your child’s application?
“Absolutely,” says Director of Undergraduate Admission John Mahoney. “
There’s a place right on the application to list parents’ biographical
information. If an applicant has a parent with a BC degree, whether it’s
undergraduate or graduate, he or she is considered an alumni child.” And
when the admissions staff sees that either mom or dad holds a BC degree, the
application is placed in the legacy pile.
What does that mean? Well, while the vast majority of BC applications are
read once and then decided upon, legacy candidates have their file examined
twice: once by an admissions counselor and once by Mahoney himself.
“The Board of Trustees would like to see alumni children make up 15 percent
of each incoming class,” he explains. “And we do that just about every
year. Last year, for example, 1,200 alumni children applied; 600 were
admitted and 320 enrolled. That’s 14.5 percent of 2,200, the size of our
freshman class.”
Mahoney stresses, however, that alumni children still have to be very strong
candidates to earn a seat in the incoming class. “US News & World Report
ranked BC as the twenty- ninth most selective college in the country in the
national four-year university category,” he says, noting that last year
admissions staffers read more than 26,000 applications for 2,200 slots. “
While alumni children are afforded extra consideration, and the acceptance
rate is higher than the general applicant pool, legacy applicants must still
have very strong credentials.”
