[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to get out more. Most legacy kids are very smart and accomplished.

Completely wrong. Most legacy kids are mediocre students, there is nothing exceptional or unique about them. I have seen this over and over again. [/quote]

What’s your source because you’re wrong. [/quote]

Here is my source
Kids bragging since middle school about how they will go to Harvard, Cornell , Princeton etc because their parents went there. Then the same kids not taking advanced classes in high school, then the same kids posting on social media that they can’t break 1400 on the SAT. Kids know who the smart kids are based on the classes they take and the activities they are involved in. My DC’s classmates expressed their shock on learning about certain kids getting accepted to Ivies, and the conclusion was they would have not gotten in if they didn’t have a legacy there. Many more qualified kids are passed on in favor of legacy kids. It is unfair. But there isn’t much you can do about it. Just tell your kids that Ivies do not take smart kids, smart kids can be found at any college. The whole idea that a high stats kid belongs at an Ivy or a highly selective college is wrong. The system is broken. It’s much more than stats. It’s about, race, gender, athletes, minorities, legacies, it’s not about the stats. [/quote]

Its creepy that you stalk children on social media.[/quote]

This never happened.  A low stat kid is not getting in on legacy.  Maybe if they are a super donor sure but that will never change. Every legacy at every top school is qualified.  Again super donor kids, maybe not.  But a legacy is not getting into Harvard with the stats you mentioned unless as a PP said they are an Adams or a Kennedy.[/quote]
