[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony is that the more that schools favor wealthy elites the less prestige they have over the long-run.  Everyone knows that Harvard is filled with people who aren't actually smarter than the people at top public universities.  [/quote]

harvard has been favoring the wealthy elites for over 200 years now.  makes no difference[/quote]

Not anymore! I'm a Harvard grad. DC applied 7 years ago with top stats and legacy stats (no big donations -we can't afford it) but on paper this very nice kid probably looks like like a boring white kid of privilege. Deferred; waitlisted. Now applying to Harvard Law, also a legacy there and I'm pretty sure he's going to be bumped for a DEI hooked kid.[/quote]

Does Harvard Law give legacy preference too or is it just the undergrad?  Is it for graduates of any of the schools or just the law school?  [/quote]

Just undergrad. I don't think any of thr professional schools there conver legacy[/quote]

unless there are large donations attached.  of course, then you don't even need legacy. [/quote]
