[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your inference is that the 2 legacy aren't smart or as smart as the others. In these cases, you would be wrong. Those kids would have gotten in on their own merit, irrespective of legacy status. It is really an offensive concept the inference that these kids would not have been admitted otherwise.[/quote] It simply is not true that legacy didn't help them over the line. They are literally in a different pile. Plenty of just as smart, non-legacy kids don't get in. Every year. Legacy matters. Own it. It does not mean they aren't qualified; it means they had a hook that other qualified kids didn't have. Without legacy, they may not have been admitted, just like all the other geniuses and valedictorians who got rejected.[/quote]
