[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is very clear : nothing positive for the vast majority of families and students. [/quote]

So what? Athletic admissions offers nothing positive either. Same with international students. Or Questbridge. Whether it benefits you is a weird yardstick to choose [/quote]

This.

And for the person saying it should be a transparent process like with private company hiring, wut?  Companies can hire who they want.

Companies can't discriminate by race, gender, religion, etc, but they don't have to hire based on some governmental definition of merit.  In fact, companies often reject candidates as OVER-qualified.[/quote]

Companies typically don’t hire based on the last name. Just they hire the most talented person. Otherwise they can generate lower profits. [/quote]

I’m not sure which is worse, your understanding of how legacy works or how companies hire. [/quote]

Yeah most companies I’ve worked for have a lot of people hiring friends and family, also true for major American companies. Do you have any idea how many Fords work or have worked for Ford Motor Company? Life isn’t fair, colleges that rely on donations like having wealthy legacy families and it doesn’t mean the students aren’t qualified, it means you really don’t understand what they value.[/quote]

Yeah, ask meta, google, Microsoft, and Apple why the hire it workers from India and not with last name gates. Think about sundar pichai and not tech support people. [/quote]
