Unsurprisingly, athletes and legacies had an enormous edge when applying to Harvard—for whites, their admissions rates were 87 percent and 34 percent, respectively, compared to 4.89 percent for normal applicants. Jocks were not particularly academically distinguished as a group.

It calculates how many chances exist that such individual could create something worth or benefit society, if the answer is above 20% then the candidate is rejected.
