[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]

DP.  Imposter syndrome could, I think, apply to those students who know their stats are meaningfully lower than the school’s usual numbers.[/quote]

You two aren't talking about a syndrome, you're simply calling them imposters.  They aren't, they're high priority to the schools. Regardless, entitlement is never going to work this way. If it did you wouldn't need to be beating around the bush in an anonymous posting.[/quote]
