[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this will change the incoming class that much. A lot of legacy kids are good students. If two parents went to Stanford, the odds of them having a bright kid are high. Plus, they will most likely have the resources for education. [/quote] Espenshade at Princeton showed that as legacy preference was similar to racial preferences for hispanics and amounted to a 160 pt. bonus on the SAT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_preferences#cite_note-36 The harvard case showed a large admissions advantage especially for more competitive students. If you had good grades, SAT and extracurriculars, being a legacy was a pretty large distinguishing factor that gave you a fairly large advantage over a non-legacy applicant with the same stats.[/quote]
