[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, a a LMC to MC girl from a small town, first generation college attendee at a then need blind top university, I found having classmates n the dorm who were socioeconomic elites and whose families had gone there for generations to be culturally enriching. I saw how to dress, how to buy wine, what kinds of accessories worked. These were multigeneational alumni families but they got in on their merit, not lower standards. MIT.[/quote] Wut? You could get experience from any socioeconomically diverse cohort that includes elites. They don’t have to be elites whose parents when to that particular school. And, statistically, no, they didn’t get in on their own merits - legacies get a huge admissions bump (at the schools that practice still allow legacy preferences).[/quote]
