Chances compromised as non-legacy, non-athlete?

<p>I heard ~40% of ED acceptees are legacies... and recuited
athletes also take up significant proportion of ED acceptees. (idk, say - ~20%?)</p>

<p>That means only 40% of ED acceptees are non-legacies and non-athletes..
From what I remember about last year's statistics (not sure tho), a little bit fewer than 600 applicants were accepted ED..</p>

<p>40% of 600 is 240... -> # of acceptees non-legacy,non-athlete,
Last year Pton received ~2300 apps (correct me if wrong)
about 500 were legacies... so 1800... how many recruited ahtletes?
idk.. say 300? subtracting 300 from 1800 gives 1500...
actual ED acceptance rate for non-athlete, non-legacy is thus 16%.......
haha now i'm depressed.</p>

<p>blah! that is all i have really have to say. :&lt;/p>

<p>what about those people who are legacies and recruits? Just throwing that statistical inconsistency at you, im sure its small so it doesnt matter much. Also I wouldnt say the legacy stat is correct is probably more like 30%, so 50% overall for both legacies and recruits combined. All this stuff is so scary. What is funny is 10 days from now all of these stats will become obsolete.</p>

<p>psh. i ain't scared of a bunch of numbers xP</p>

<p>you arent counting the athlete-legacies... that would bring the number down maybe to more like 50%</p>

<p>Of the 599 students accepted ED last year, only 107 were legacies--about 18% or so. Some of those many have also been recruited athletes. The figures are nowhere near as high as you projected CianLee.</p>

<p>We love you midatlmom :)</p>

<p>So many huge figures thrown about concerning legacies. Glad to have some numbers!</p>

8

<p>Yes, we love you lots. :D</p>

<p>but the question is, how many legacy students applied ED? 107 may still be a pretty high percentage</p>

<p>I think that Princeton is trying to move away from legacies... and to URMs, so I guess it still sucks.</p>

<p>lol amg ya i agree</p>
