At elite private #colleges, #legacies (kids of #alumni) are 33% more qualified but 300% more likely to be admitted vs. similar #applicants w/same #SAT/#ACT test scores. 🤯nytimes.com/2023/07/27/upsho… #highered #inequality #wealth #RajChetty @OppInsights @Harvard @Yale @Princeton

For applicants w/same #SAT/#ACT score, children from families in top 1% were 34% more likely to get admitted to an #IvyLeague #college. Those from top 0.1% were twice as likely to get in. nytimes.com/interactive/2023… #RajChetty #highered #inequality #admissions
