[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Wut? I went to an ivy league school and almost nobody I knew was lega[/b]cy. One person was the first in her entire county to have ever gone to any ivy league school.[/quote]

YOu may not have known they were legacy because we didn't walk around with T-shirts emblazoned "I am a legacy".  no one in my harvard class discussed that or financial aid.  I remember someone thinking my dad was the person who got me in - no - it was my straight As, SATs and slot in my high school class and gift for writing that got me in.[/quote]

I found it interesting from the Harvard Crimson survey that legacies had higher average SAT scores than the non-legacy students[/quote]
Numerous studies have shown that higher income kids have higher SAT scores. This is because parents are more educated, they can afford tutoring, prepping, etc… Legacies tend to be higher income kids so this is not surprising. [/quote]

Right. Genes don’t matter at all. /s[/quote]
