[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm perfectly OK that my DS didn't get into the Ivy where I, my spouse, my spouse's brother, both my sisters, both my sisters' husbands, my dad, my aunt, and probably other connections on both sides I'm forgetting went. First, as PP said, the standards are different now and it's much harder. Second, I really believe firmly that all legacy preferences should be eliminated. 15:02's kid isn't any better qualified for Columbia by virtue of being born into the right family and having chosen the right ancestors any more than my kids are better qualified for my school. Legacy preference is just another way of perpetuating kleptocracy rather than meritocracy. On the other hand, what I'd really like to see are eliminating athletic recruitments for colleges. That pisses me off to no end.[/quote]with neither football scholarships nor legacy admissions, colleges would go broke. You can’t fund a decent college merely through tuition. [/quote]
