CMC reports legacy and donor preferential treatment in class of 2024 admissions
Seven percent of the students in Claremont McKenna College’s class of 2024 are related to alumni or donors, according to a report from the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities. And in a shift from the 2018-19 admissions cycle, Pitzer College says it did not provide any manner of preferential treatment to legacy or donor-related students for those entering the class of 2024.
Legacy and donor-related students make up 16.3 percent of Pitzer’s, 7 percent of CMC’s classes of 2023
A new report provides details on preferential admissions practices for legacy students and applicants related to college donors.
OPINION: We need to end legacy preferences
Legacy preferences in college admissions are biased and limit diversity. Economic arguments for legacy admissions are incorrect.
