[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not surprised. I went to NCS back in the 90's and the girls who went there had a lot of $$ and legacy connections, but were NOT the smartest in the class. [/quote] I also went to a private in the 1990s and the Harvard bound students were all top students, regardless of legacy or not. It seems that these days to get into Harvard as a legacy you need to be a legacy + powerful connections, aka famous parents or wealthy donor, and given Harvard it's not difficult to see there's quite a few of famous/wealthy/highly accomplished Harvard grads with children who are also stellar students. The difference from the 1990s was that it was possible for an ordinary UMC with a father who was a Harvard grad and otherwise just an ordinary UMC professional to get in on legacy status, but those legacies rarely make the cut anymore.
