Athletes and legacies.

Yawn.[/quote]

It sounds like your child is not athletic and his/her parents (YOU) didn’t graduate from college. Unless you did graduate from college, but it’s not a “good” college. In that case, your child is also a legacy. It sucks to suck, huh? [/quote]

Hooks should be noted unless that makes you feel insecure. [/quote]

You’re projecting your own insecurity.

When someone complains about “legacy admits,” they should include their alma mater so we can fully understand their level of bitterness (and judge their level of entitlement).

I don’t want to hear CUA graduates complaining about their snowflake being shut out of the Ivies. It’s your fault that you didn’t graduate from a better school. Your child is a legacy too—you just hoped they would do better than you did. [/quote]

Wow. You are massively  insecure.

Hooks matter. That’s why the privates ask where parents went to school when they apply for kindergarten. You can whine about it but that doesn’t change it.

If you’re on here whining about legacies, it’s important to know where you and your spouse graduated from. Are the schools not good enough for your children? [/quote]

Why is it important? Regardless of where you or I went to college, knowing which accepted students are legacies is important for understanding the data. Don’t you agree?[/quote]

I’m for full transparency across the board. Let’s release legacy admissions data for various schools AND the complainers should also post their alma maters. We should know if your children applied to your institution (and if not, why?) and if they were admitted as legacies. Otherwise, your posts are deeply hypocritical. [/quote]

Great.

Post your kids’ schools, your alma maters, if you were legacies, and if your kids are applying to your alma maters.

We’ll wait.
