[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people lament legacy advantages, but simultaneously want them for their own kids. Including the politicians. [/quote] Fully support it. Private colleges should be able to pick who they want for whatever reasons they want.[/quote] +1. Some schools want to be family traditions. Personally, I was crafting a class I would much rather have a kid who wants to be at my school than another kid who applied based on ranking and doesn't really care if they're at much school or another similar school. [/quote] +1 I did not benefit from legacy nor will my kids. But if a private institution has two applicants who meet their requirements and one spot to fill I totally think they should be able to tip the scale a bit on one whose family has a history with the institution. Especially if they are also doing first gen/URM initiatives. I don't think public schools should factor in legacy though.[/quote]
