Those schools want to maintain their culture as time goes by. Being a legacy means that you grew up raised / surrounded by a person who more often than not, has been an influence to you, or has shared those main core values with you, in comparison to someone who is not a legacy and has no ties to the school. Highly selective school’s will always have a soft spot for their alumni.

He's right, but we live in a system that promotes that. This world is unfair. I'm won't be upset at the kid who grew up with privileges because kudos to whatever their parents did that got them there. Also that kid took advantage of the resources and worked hard on his own merit. The money from the donation will also help so many more students. As for the kid who got there because their parents cheated and bribed, the kid probably didn't take advantage of their rich resources when they were young and couldn't have gotten in even with legacy status. The bribe money only benefited the individual who took the bribe, and their parents defrauded taxpayers, by claiming charitable contributions. Essentially, the taxpayers paid for their kids to take a spot from another kid who deserved to get in.

Instead of paying $100,000 the rich can pay $120000 for e.g by doing so, the poor could pay instead of $1000 they would pay $800. This extra $200 income could allow the poor to save more money and increase in wealth at the same time the total impact on the economy/taxes that are rexeived will not be affected as much because the rich would be compensating for the poor.

That guy is one of the rare exceptions where even if he wasn't a legacy he would have probably still gotten into Yale on his academics (you can tell by his attitude and how he kept saying it should be 100 percent about academics). The other kids at his table are not so lucky so while they acknowledge the system is unfair and favors the rich they do not want it changed because they like being at the top.

@@PCAchievements This comment is so odd to me. What do you mean by "rare exceptions"? You realize that wealth generally means higher levels of education, earlier and greater mental stimulation, early access to professional experience and a strong support network, right? All those factors make it such that many wealthy legacies are far superior to other applicants. I can understand your general sentiment about the impact of wealth on admission but it's a massive stretch to assume a qualified legacy is a "rare exception".

@@sophiejames2688 Yes, at most American universities (private ones, at least) they will ask you if any of your relatives attended directly on the application, and aren't shy about the fact that it helps your application. I honestly don't think it's something that needs to be justified in the case of private schools. They're private businesses, who can serve (or not serve) basically whomever they want (except in certain cases involving protected classes). It shouldn't exist at public schools, and, as far as I know, it holds very little weight at most public institutions. Sometimes they'll give people with legacy a cheaper tuition (for example, ISU admissions is based on a publicly available mathematical formula using your GPA and ACT score, i.e. it's as meritocratic as possible. If you have legacy at ISU, it doesn't affect whether or not you get in, but it makes tuition significantly cheaper.)

@@sophiejames2688 It is. Although I will say that it def depends on the school. 50% of Harvard's population is legacy I believe, which really goes to show just how much and how many people benefit from it. I think having legacy status def helps one in a college application--not just private schools bc in the US, some public schools are HUGE on legacy as well-- because it not only shows the ways that one's family has "'helped" the school, it also shows that the student is more likely to be financially more well off, which means they get to give out fewer grants, something I believe private institutions value.

The best solution is to make it known that Ivy Leagues aren't the only places to get a great education, and that, oftentimes, they're worse than a comparable public school due to the lack of diversity (a huge part of a college education is learning how to work together with people from diverse backgrounds, something that's hard to learn when you're at a school chock-full of upper class people). If you aren't a fan of the fact that a private institution is allowed to give certain students preference, just don't go to a private school. Go to your state school, or a public school with a good program for what you want to study, because, chances are, it will be just as good of an education or better.

Personally I think timed tests are bullshit in the first place, but being able to work around those limitations just because your family has money is downright shitty.

@Richard Durkee Yeah, but if your income isn't being provided by parent's then not working while being a full-time student isn't an option. This is why many options for advancement in society are off of the table for people who aren't lucky enough to be born into an affluent family. The route for advancement for the lower-middle class and the poor is usually filled with a significant more amount of stress, time, and struggle. There is a huge amount of barriers for the lower class that the upper class is ignorant to. And I don't blame people for ignorance, because it's not their fault. The system is entirely broken and strongly favors classism. For example, a highschool student could have aspirations to attend an ivy league school and has the drive, ability, grades, and extracurriculars that make them qualified. Yet, their parents never even attended college and live paycheck to paycheck, so the kid will have to be entirely self-sufficient. Even if they have their school expenses paid through scholarships and waivers. They need money to pay rent, eat, have clothes to wear, or for any other random circumstances, so working enough to pay for all these is necessary. People underestimate the intense mental and physical battle it is handling all of that as a fresh 18 year old who doesn't even have a grasp on the world yet. It also is disheartening seeing all of these other students who do the same amount of studying, yet the free time they have left can be spent enjoying themselves and and usually going on vacations and out to eat when you work full time, attend school, and still don't even have enough to get a combo and not eat off the dollar menu lol.

To assume schools are meritocratic is wishful high schooler thinking. Higher education, particularly private, is a business and they need to keep running. Ivy League schools didn’t reach their status because only the brightest and best attended, but because the movers and shakers attended. Those movers and shakers are most often wealthy to start with. And alumni donations drive school rankings, with more donation getting a higher ranking. Nepotism is alive and well in more than just higher education. Even the best jobs are reserved for family and friends. Some low quality wealthy student will donate more than a high quality poor student would, simply because grades don’t matter. But even the one poor girl said it. She didn’t feel the need to donate back to her alma mater. It’s not the grades you make, but the hands you shake.

The issue with "Ivy" league level universities is largely that, either the student distribution is from wealth, or from poor communities. There is little to no middle class involvement it seems. I got the chance to visit Yale back in 2007, and it was an amazing place, but frankly it was obviously skewed towards a social hierarchy. Going to a public university myself, there are huge differences in resources, class mobility, and job prospects going to a place such as Yale, but a lot of that is due to social constructs built while in school, not so much the degree itself, that just gets you the first $100k paying entry level job in a major city like NY, Boston, or Seattle etc., It gives you a leg up, but only for the first 5 years after graduation. If you take advantage of it though it can change your lifelong trajectory a lot.

Although I don't go to Yale, I go to another ivy league school in New England and this situation really makes me confused. It seems like a lot of people hate on Black and Latinx students for getting in because of their race. Yet, it took this situation for a lot of people to realize that rich elites have WAY more power in college admissions than low-SES black students from places like Chicago. Why aren't we looking at the richest people in America to make sure that they don't game the system instead of poor people of color?

It's not poor people of color. More often it's rich people of color that benefit at the expense of ALL poor people. Cory Booker, Barack Obama, they weren't poor. They're considered out of touch even for black people. Remember 2008 election? Obama wasn't considered black enough cause he wasn't from a rough neighborhood. He had to earn his way in but he didn't grow up with the same disadvantages as most blacks. That's why affirmative action is flawed, it's helping the rich still, not the poor with less resources.

That might be somewhat true but the majority of black kids I know here at Dartmouth come from low-income/immigrant backgrounds who didn’t have a leg up. If you’re going to get rid of AA, at least do something to help poor kids who don’t even have boots to pull themselves up by.
