[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you that are okay with legacy preference, are you okay with affirmative action?  Same thing but in reverse.  [/quote]

I am ok with both. [/quote]

+2. DC1 is the 3rd generation at Brown, where DH's grandmother established a scholarship. I can see why the school would want us versus someone who sent 25 copy/paste applications to whatever US News ranked at the top that year. [/quote]

I'm neutral on legacy admissions, but you are clueless.  The whole reason why someone HAS to send 25 copy/paste applications is because they don't have your advantage.  [/quote]
+1  I guess their Ivy league education wasn't enough to give ^PP critical thinking skills.   To the ^PP:  your post reeks of privilege and stupidity.[/quote]

And this is why your kids will not get admitted. I'm asking a simple question - why are you applying to an elite college with legacy preference - and you can't even answer that.  [/quote]

Yes, you are a genius and all the  many different people posting on this thread won't have their kids admitted.  Sure.   Yes, you're the epitome of a legacy parent.[/quote]

You still haven't answered why do you want your child to apply to an elite school with legacy preference when you are against it. [/quote]

I’m not that PP… but are you truly this slow? Really?

Wow. [/quote]

Yes, so please enlighten me why your kid should be with my entitled legacy and not at JMU. [/quote]

Sure, give us the name and stats of your "entitled legacy" and we can describe whether our kids are higher performing. Do you see how this works and how stupid your question is?[/quote]

You are still not answering why your child wants to be at an elite college with legacy preference.[/quote]

You are incredibly slow. [/quote]
