[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the legacies I know of at my alma mater (Cornell) were double legacies through both parents, and applied ED. (And were fantastic students, strong ECs etc.). But I know of plenty of kids who also had these characteristics and were rejected. [/quote] And that's the crux of it. No one is saying that the legacy kids admitted are bad or extreme outliers compared to the rest of the class. But there are far more non-legacy kids who look pretty similar to legacy kids who are rejected. Any Ivy grad who doesn't recognize the privilege that legacy brings isn't looking at the available information. Of the Harvard class of 2022, 36% were legacies. If you think they were all the most outstanding students available who applied, I have a bridge to sell you.[/quote]
