[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our private school it is really neat to see the generations of students from one family. At the alumni gatherings you see kindergarteners there with their alumni grandparents and great grandparents. This definitely increases the sense of history and community of the school. Let’s face it, I’m sure legacy helps with donations too, which benefits all students. It’s a selective school and I’m new to this area and my kid is not a legacy and had to get in without legacy ties. But I understand why when things are equal the school would want to favor the legacy applicants.[/quote] I think if the school is a non competitive small private, when legacy doesn’t imply generational wealth or influence, it is really nice. But for these big3, when they are so competitive, then legacy does imply some sort of prior advantage and inherited privilege. [/quote]
