You do realize the wealthy, full-pay families are what provide so many benefits to the students who can’t afford full-pay, correct?

It’s a good way to have a class that mostly really wants to be there.

I don’t think so. Too much impact on the colleges bottom line. Ending legacy is one thing. But ending a guaranteed source of full pay students is another. I doubt this will go.

And legacy still exists at most private universities.

Probably...
A lot of these schools are about to be completely ruined. There is a reason why they were elite... It was the exclusivity, the excellence... remove that and what do they have?
Apart from Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc (Schools that honestly can't lose their prestige) the others have a lot to lose with all these changes.

This. They need at least 50-60% full pay for the math to work.

They both need to go but I am skeptical that ED will because it’s so advantageous to the colleges, for yield purposes

It seems to favor full-pay students who are more likely to discover their #1 pick—can afford multiple visits (hotels, airfare, etc). Equity issue that could ultimately go the way of legacy admissions?
