[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was shocked to read in the editorial that Harvard’s legacy admit rate is over 30% while its regular admit rate is only 5-6 %. That is crazy. I never realized what a huge advantage legacy confers.[/quote] If the legacy is AA, it's close to 100%. Yes, it's crazy. Who cares about non-legacy whites.[/quote] Uh - almost every other institution in this country. This whiny, weepy hand-wringing over your lot in life is pathetic. Life isn't fair to you one time (and frankly, the reason it's unfair is only partially because you are white but mostly because you were evidently were stupid in high school) and your reaction that it's the end of the world and time to burn it all to the ground.[/quote]
