[quote=Anonymous]Of course anyone should be able to apply, but whether their parents attended/donate a ton of money/built a research lab should have NO bearing on the admissions process. I know of a prominent DC family whose THREE sons got into Harvard. (Grandpa was a former cabinet secretary and they were legacy.) While I’m sure the boys are all talented and smart, would they have gotten in without the family name/legacy status? Unlikely. Legacy gives a leg up to kids who already have a leg up. That’s why I’m opposed.[/quote]
