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]

My kids attend a Big3 private. The legacy kids at their school are NOT mediocre. Maybe at your DC’s school they are, but not what we see AT ALL.[/quote]

They may not be all mediocre, but they are usually not the top students.  The problem is the above average but not top legacy students got accepted into top schools over the top non-legacy students.[/quote]

False.  Legacy kids know how to make an attractive high school record.  First, your "top kid" may be taking the wrong classes (too much of one subject or not the right classes. Each college has certain classes they like to see if you look at past students.). Second, the top kid may have $ issues and not apply. Third, your top kid may not participate in desirable ECs.Most legacy kids that actually get in have good grades and curated ECs, sports, or activities.  At base, the overall application is more desirable than a kid with a high GPA.[/quote]
