[QUOTE="tsrich, post: 935330, member: 1874"] I think the issue is that there is essentially 0 benefit for being a legacy now. The transfer benefit is not going to be heavily used by the type of students we're talking about. who have other good options. Tech's applicant pool is so good right now that you could add a 'legacy bump', which would bump a tech legacy with a 35 ACT, straight As, etc over a non-legacy with 35ACT straight As, and one extracurricular admissions liked more, and not affect the quality of the entering class. There will always be students who don't make it, but right now (esp OOS) it feels like a roll of the dice whether you get in beyond a certain point. Legacies are what build generational donations to a school. It benefits the academic endowment and the athletic donations. Tech is making very little effort to capture this. It's petty of me, but I'm a lot less likely to donate now after seeing my daughter get rejected. The AD doesn't have control over this, but he certainly has the president's ear. [/QUOTE]
