[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The jealousy here is off the hook. If you go through life keeping score and being envious of those who have more you will have a miserable life and will also have a horrible experience at these top schools that you didn’t go to. If by some miracle your kid gets into one of these schools they will be surrounded by kids who got in with hooks (many of whom were well qualified without the hooks) so if those kids are living rent free in your kid’s head, your kid will hate it. Better off at non-flagship state U.[/quote] It’s not jealousy—or bitterness—to point out that legacy has a significant impact on improving acceptances, and double legacy likely even more so. Even if that hurts some egos along the way.[/quote]
