[quote=Anonymous]My school got rid of legacy and it irks me a bit because I was first generation to go to a fancy school, and my kid will not get any preference over our neighbors who have equivalent stats but who are third generation old money rich people or who are getting legacy at their parents alma maters. Since the whole college admission system is now just a lottery in which your stats just have to be good enough to buy you a ticket, I’d like for my alma mater to give my kid a little leg up over the very equivalent kids who also have a lottery ticket. I wouldn’t expect my kid to get a preference over first Gen college students or students from an impoverished background. But it irks a little that she gets no preference over her friends who are getting preferences at other schools or who come from generational wealth. [/quote]
