[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the OP: please note that so many of these responses are clearly from people who do not have legacy status to offer to their kids.

The vast majority of legacies would be there anyway, or worst case it is a tie-breaker. There are a few well-publicized cases of kids who get a big boost from it. These tend to be filthy rich kids so it is very obvious.

If these kids are too dumb to understand it, let them live in their sad little world. Tell your child to hold their head high and know that they fully deserve to be there and not to care what these small people think.[/quote]

+1 - people without legacy at top schools build it up in their minds into something it’s not. Most of my classmates’  kids are not getting into my college with it’s 4 % admissions rate either [/quote]

It helps but it’s still tough.

Not as tough as it is for non-legacies, right? It helps. [/quote]

Maybe all of you should have strived a little more in high school. [/quote]
