[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope this isn't news to you, but being a legacy isn't any sort of flex. It just means you have extra privilege due to your parents. Also, being a legacy has never been an "auto-admit" at elite colleges. It just means that all else fixed, you have a far greater chance of getting in than a non-legacy, 5x as great according to the Chetty/Deming paper, which is a huge boost. But if the admit rate is 3% of applicants, there are still many legacy kids not getting in. [/quote]
