The admission of legacy students is estimated to be around 10 to 15 percent.
A lot more info to start with: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_preferences#:~:text=University in 2023.-,Current practices,entering class using legacy admissions.
It’s more than that at Harvard. ALDC is legacy admissions.
While only 5% of applications come from ALDC students, they make up about a third of acceptances.
That means a legacy applicant is at least 6x more likely to be admitted than a non-legacy.
And all the conservatives scream and yell about affirmative action
Yes, but how is this different than always?

Actually, not that shocked.
A bit shocked that anyone is surprised by that.
