[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece got into T10 school where she was a legacy. She confided that she had a niggling doubt she wouldn’t have gotten in without legacy. This apparently diminished her self confidence and might have impacted what how she performed later on in life. This can have negative consequences for the person after the initial admission boost . Self worth is a uuuuuuge thing[/quote] Definitely. A friend of mine got a 1500 on the SAT back in the day when it was less common before a lot of the changes. He confided in me that he hadn’t really studied and felt guilty because his parents were also very smart and he hadn’t really earned his brain. I told him to just let everyone know that he was aware of his brain privilege and maybe act a little dumber.[/quote]
