[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think this is great. They can feel proud and never have anyone (including themself) second guess their admittance. [/quote] I don't know a single kid who's worried about what other people think regarding their college admission. [/quote]

Many kids at ivies suffer from imposter syndrome. Even those that did not have a hook of some sort. So I can imagine that legacy kids (esp those that were not admitted to peer schools may second guess their admittance. They know what others think about their admittance due to legacy. Some speak their thoughts out loud, but way more are just thinking it. [/quote]

It sounds like this is your dream rather than reality. You come across as an awful, envious person. [/quote]

You must not have a kid at an ivy. My oldest graduated from HYP (not legacy) and younger child currently attends a different one. Also have  friends with kids at HYP who are legacy admits. They have told me what their kids have shared regarding classmates’ comments made to them knowing their legacy status. My own kids felt imposter syndrome at the beginning and said many of their friends did too.[/quote]

I have three, you ninny [/quote]
