[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These assumptions are hurtful and uncalled for, whether one’s a URM, legacy, etc. I hope parents aren’t openly speculating about their kids’ classmates’ qualifications at home, but that’s probably wishful thinking. Sometimes it’s the parents who are planting this attitude in their kids. [/quote] Denying that a double legacy gives one a boost is being obtuse.[/quote] Non donor legacy at a top school is a tie breaker at best. OP’s kid was at least as strong as the other kid.[/quote] So it did work to get him in. A non-legacy has to be better than the legacy because there is no thumb on their side if the scale. This is how it works right now. If you benefit from it, you can hardly complain that other people know that you did. [/quote]
