[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you account for the advantages legacy admits have before they even apply?[/quote]

If you don't believe, have your kid not mention where you and your spouse got undergrad degrees from.  Just as an experiment.  Come back and report your findings.

Nah!  I know you don't have the balls.[/quote]

If your kid isn't a legacy, guess what, it's your fault not anyone else's.  You're the one who didn't get admitted.

How about you take some advantage you've gotten through your work, like your ability to fund your kid's SAT tutor or travel team, and voluntarily give that up and see how that works?[/quote]

As I said, you have no balls.  Then simply admit "legacy" is a leg up.  Even to admit that you should have some balls, albeit of small size.  The question is do you have any balls at all?[/quote]

Legacy is a huge leg up, my kids will happily use it and, at my alma mater, have a 7x greater chance of being accepted.

Just as your kids will use whatever lesser advantages you can confer upon them.[/quote]

Are you always this big of an asshole? NP here.

That's great your kid will have an advantage that they didn't earn. But, you being a braggart about it is ungracious and pretty gross. Then to disparage someone else because of it . . . . why don't you just crawl under a rock somewhere.[/quote]
