I worked at Stanford admissions many years ago. Over 15% of every incoming class are students admitted due to nepotism.
At Harvard, that nepotism number is closer to 50%, according to my colleagues at the time.
The remainder are chosen from those with strong academics, nearly at random, with a very strong bias against students who don't visual demonstrate diversity on campus.
