"Their eldest son didn't get in, and it wasn't for lack of trying. So much for "legacy admissions." More like a legacy admission; e pluribus unum. Supreme Court Affirmative Action Ruling Puts Legacy Admissions in Spotlight (newsweek.com) ...A report released last October by Education Reform said that 787 colleges and universities provided some type of legacy preference in 2020. However, colleges described as highly selective in their admissions processes were more prone to providing advantages for legacy students. About 80 percent of the 64 four-year colleges and universities that admit less than 25 percent of applicants were among those higher education institutions. However, private institutions were more prone to accept legacy students per the report, notably those in the northeastern part of the country. A 2018 survey of American college admissions officers by Inside Higher Ed found that 42 percent of private schools confirmed that legacy status was taken into account in admissions, while that number was about 6 percent at public institutions. Harvard, in the spotlight along with UNC due to these cases, had an approximate 33 percent acceptance rate for legacy between 2010 and 2015, according to PBS News Hour, among a 6 percent overall acceptance rate. That was about 5.7 times higher than the acceptance rate for non-legacy applicants. A 2020 report published by the Wall Street Journal showed a slight decrease in a 16-year period, with 56 percent of the nation's top 250 institutions considering legacy applicants—down from 63 percent in 2004.
