[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]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]

They hire IT workers from India because they’re cheap. I promise you the executives at every one of those companies are getting their own kids whatever internships and first jobs their connections allow. Do you really know nothing about how the world works? Do you ever interact with real humans outside of trolling on this website?[/quote]

Yeah, I am sure Sundar Pichai from google is super cheap. [/quote]

You are so maddeningly obtuse. You are talking about one person, think of the thousands they hire in India because they are cheap. It’s amazing how long you can argue a stupid point on all of your crazy threads. Are you a foreign troll just trying to drive this forum insane?[/quote]

Yeah, Jensen huang works in nvidia just because of his last name, talent is secondary. I like your logic. [/quote]

Once again you are talking about individual examples at the very top of of select companies and not about the many thousands of normal hires, you really don’t get it.[/quote]

Sure, talent is so out of fashion! [/quote]
