<p>@riadapki - read the link above from cornell showing the # of legacy admits (750) at cornell - it is about 25% of the class, how many of those 750 got in ed is the question </p>
<p>@lazy, good point, heavily recruited athletes get in with even way lower stats than that, my school had a 3.0 / 1640 out of 2400 go to Stanford and play football. For recruited athletes for major sports, the numbers are not super important. that has been the case for ever.
at the admission session I went to at Cornell last year the person said that most of their recruited athletes go ED. it makes sense so the coaches can lock up their teams.
i was just asking if anyone out there has any ideal of how much of the 1000 or so total athletes and legacy got in ed. nothing else. if it is a large number of the total of the 1100 total admitted ed, then it makes getting in ed for the unhooked super competitive.
maybe the assumption is wrong
yet doing the math, with even 75% of the 1000 athletes and legacy going ed, still makes it super difficult ed for the unhooked.
thank you for your input on this</p>
