[quote=Anonymous]I remember reading in one of the college admissions books a quote from an admissions officer along the lines of, unless the alumni parent had done really well, there is no legacy bump for their kid. In fact, if the parent took their Ivy degree and went into something like middle management at a not-for-profit advocacy, that was actually a strike against their kid. Yikes…. That said, at my kid’s private school a mom complained to the principal that my kid was acting out. This is the mom of a kid who kicked my kid in the shins once for no good reason. The vice principal told us and laughed about it, and my (totally unhooked, not a legacy) kid got into Columbia.[/quote]
