[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s unfair and everyone knows it.  
If it hadn’t benefited your kid you would think so too.  Legacy should end.  But then again sadly there are so many other ways the system is rigged and not meritocratic no one should take it admission as such a big point of pride.   I say this as a first gen Ivy grad.

Your kid should just say “yeah I had a bit of extra luck. “ and then just move on.  [/quote]

While that’s true, the kid was a dick.

The more appropriate response would be for him to roll his eyes. Or if the kid is routinely a dick say “suck it, loser”.

That shows that OP and her child are POS people lacking class.  They are benefiting from a rigged system.  If they decided to use the legacy quota then they should accept that.  The other kid was brave for pointing it out. [/quote]

Your shoulders must be in constant agony from the huge chips on them. Good Lord. Get over it. Living your life being envious of others is not healthy. Get therapy.

This thread is scary. So many people with no class and nothing better to do than be jealous of others.

I like the fat example above. You can think someone is fat, but you shouldn't say it. Similarly, you can think someone benefitted from the system but unless they were being truly obnoxious and rubbing it in your face (which I doubt this kid was), you keep it to yourself.

If I saw all of you idiots on the street I wouldn't walk up to you and call you stupid even though you clearly are.[/quote]

The rantings of someone watching their unearned advantages slowly slip away.[/quote]

And admissions officers are getting smarter every day so can better see through uneducated jealous parents like you and deny your kids. They prefer people with class rather than those who live their lives being jealous. Jealous people ruin schools - bad karma.[/quote]

Clutching to the legacy pearls while foaming at the mouth.[/quote]

I will call you Kermit. Because it's not easy being green (with envy). Legacies are living rent free in your head.[/quote]

It’s funny how you keep talking about class, yet you are the only one engaged in rampant name calling. It’s almost like you read about class in a book and didn’t comprehend it very well. The concept seems to have confounded you. How very redbrick.[/quote]
