[quote=Anonymous][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][/b]

Just undergrad. I [b]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]

of course legacy is s big thing at Harvard Las. All of my fellow HLS grads sent their kids there. That's why there are neverending social events, seminars, talks, reunions, etc. with the message "give!". Of course tge kid has to have the stars: 3.99 GPA and 179 LSAT at the 75th percentile[/quote]
