[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only legacy kid I know got into Yale, her parent's school. She is a brilliant, hard-working, initiative-taking, community-minded student. She deserves to be there. But being legacy did help secure her a spot, of course, there's no question about that. The top schools turn away so many brilliant, hard-working, initiative-taking, community-minded students! Who all deserve to go to top schools and can't, because there aren't enough seats! So I think this is the price you need to pay for your privilege, OP. It's not your or your child's fault. It's the system's fault, for putting a price on legacy. Universities should stop prioritizing athletes, legacies and big donors. Your kid should reply that he is opposed to the legacy system. That is the only correct answer. [/quote] You don’t know that though, you can’t. So many assumptions being made. I applied to 2 HYPSM. I was a legacy at 1. I got into both. [/quote]
