[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following the articles about the Harvard lawsuit, I actually feel sick about how much preference is given to the elite - legacies, faculty children, big donors and athletes. Legacies are accepted at 5x the rate of unconnected applicants. Our most esteemed institutions work hard to maintain the status quo. I went to a state school for undergrad and then to Harvard for my PhD. Feeling kind of embarrassed to be associated with it these days. Anyone else? [/quote] Legacy applicants are likely to be more qualified than the balance of the applicant pool given the inherent advantages they enjoy having been lucky enough to be born to Harvard graduates. I don't quite understand how these preferred admissions are just now coming onto your radar since you allegedly graduated from Harvard as well. [/quote]
