[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big elephant in the room: how in the world is this fair? Why should someone who can play sports or has a parent attending the college get up to a 15x boost to acceptance rate (PRINCETON) AND lower GPA? I [b]see all the attacks on URM and this is very much the same phenomenon, if not more drastic. [/b] Sickening that so many well-qualified students- who demonstrate ability in more meaningful ways- are getting cut out from great schools over these mediocre ones. [/quote] They've looked into this at several competitive universities and the URM bump is usually MUCH greater than the legacy bump. It's not even close. Many of the athletes are URM as well. I think all preferences (even legacy) should go.[/quote]
