[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Search for Thomas Espenshade's paper. He did the analysis your describing and talked about how much a legacy adds to admissions value. He also argued IIRC that although legacy applicants have an admissions advantage in a one-on-one comparison to another hypothetical applicant, there are relatively few legacy applicants compared to the massive pool of non-legacies, so their actual impact is relatively small. [/quote] Read Goldin's book, Price of Admission. He talks about legacies and how they reduce the chances for all the other equally qualified applicants.[/quote]
