MIT to no longer consider SAT subject tests in admissions decisions

I applied to 10 ivy league universities, and was accepted by 3. It's reasonable to suppose that if MIT gave a +1 for legacy admits, I would have gotten the nod.

that is not a reasonable assumption at all - it's a dice roll regardless. admission at one good school doesn't guarantee admission at another, even if you have legacy.

(and is also highly dependent on which Ivies we're talking about - not all Ivies are HYP, which are more on par with MIT)

Saying "reasonable assumption" is not at all saying "guaranteed". Please stick to discussing ideas and not deliberately misinterpreting plain language.
