[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t smart, high achievers beget smart, high achievers, on average? [/quote] Yes. Legacy kids must have the stats to get in. I know many who were not strong enough students, and were not admitted. And some with outstanding stats but not admitted. There's a good article about the real corruption being in the area of athletic recruits, for whom academic standards are substantially lowered by contrast: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/09/opinions/college-admissions-elite-sports-harvard-affirmative-action-macintosh/index.html[/quote] Wow, recruited athletes get a 1000% bump, and with lowered academic standards to boot? That's not right.[/quote] +1. Athletic recruiting has 10x the impact of legacy these days, yet legacy gets 10x the attention post-Supreme Court decision.[/quote]
