[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a good friend Z lister at my HYP - required gap year and all. Ended up starting and selling business. Family gives more to my Alma mater than anyone else I know. Sure the kids will have better shot. Doesn’t bother me one bit. These schools are so much more generous on FA than when I was there and so much more focus on first gen. [b]Not totally sure why that’s more offensive than a slightly less wealthy kid recruited for sailing.[/b] [/quote]

Agree. How is this any more offensive than those recruited for swimming or sailing or squash or any number of sports that add NOTHING to anyone on a university campus except those who are on the team (but required years and years of an outlay of time and cash by parents)? [/quote]

Maintaining a high GPA at a rigorous high school while also playing a sport at a high level is extremely difficult and requires discipline, strong work ethic, organizational skills and determination. Legacy shows literally nothing other than entitlement. [/quote]
