[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Yes, legacy probably helped me, but many legacies don’t get admitted. My application was competitive in every way. No shame here. Good luck to you!”[/quote] Please don’t say this. [/quote] Why?[/quote] Because it sounds ridiculous, defensive, and willfully blind to the process. Legacy helps…plenty of (over)qualified applicants are denied. In this case, the kid got in. Trying to deflect and talk about what a great app you submitted is like Don, Jr. saying yeah, nepotism probably helped but many of my dad’s friends and relatives didn’t get similar benefits and my background is competitive anyway. It sounds ridiculous. [/quote]
