[quote=Anonymous]I won’t defend legacy because I don’t generally dig it (though the poster above makes a good point) but I’d like to point out another legacy benefit that (I think) hasn’t been mentioned. Legacies enroll more often than non-legacies and so they are a safer admission bet. There’s a built-in belief in the institution based on family history. Helps yield and the often horrible adcom miscalculations (see: Oberlin, VT, etc.)[/quote]
