[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Click your heels together Dorothy and repeat: Children of Ivy legacy are not smart. Repeat until you believe. No wait, that what you believed in the first place.[/quote] The Ivy League admissions committees say that you get extra points on your application if you are a legacy. Are you saying that's not true?[/quote] You can be legacy AND ALSO be smart. This is not to say that all legacies are smart, but it's a mistake to assume that they're all dim-bulbs. They all have well-educated parents, many (most?) of whom are also affluent, so they have an academic advantage from the time they're toddlers, long before they're applying to colleges. --a Harvard legacy admit w/SAT avg of 760 who was admitted to Columbia on my own merits[/quote] Of course you can be a legacy and also be smart. The point is that you don't have to be as smart as people who aren't legacies.[/quote]
