[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, the proponents of legacy admissions on this thread are really not looking good. [/quote]

Yup. They can’t make an argument or use data, so they go onto being racist and complaining about URMs.  And their kids probably inherited some of these traits.  [/quote]

I don't have a problem with the URM. I support priority admission for URM, athlete, and legacy, as well as children of exceptional abilities, as these kids are all special. I don't understand why the dime-a-dozen feels entitled to a spot.     [/quote]

Because those people think a school just wants the best students when most schools want students who will contribute while on campus, become successful after graduation and continue to be part of the community [/quote]

I believe it's the fear of admitting that their kids are mediocre and also having no understanding of what defines a best student. I interview for my undergrad program and I've been very impressed with the Li Po Chun's kids. These kids are what elite schools are looking for - very smart future leaders with already established networks and wealth. Their parents are also generous donors.   [/quote]
