question for legacies
by: Old Bones
How do you look yourself in the mirror, knowing that you took a spot from someone who actually deserved it.
Yale kind of copies Oxford. Did you know that at Oxford, it is considered VERY bad form for anyone to let the admissions office know that an applicant is a legacy? For parents it would be considered the ultimate in bad taste. For applicants it would actually be a strike against you.

Wait, I though you were all liberal bleeding hearts? Maybe you just have to pretend while you are on campus, lol. But that was my point, why let leeches like legacies and athletes go to the school when you can have the smartest and best? I just made the social justice comment because I thought that would reach more people.

Truth hurts, huh? I am not knocking the school,
just one particular aspect of admissions. You want me to say it - Yale is a great school. Would be better without legacies.
It's not like Yale needs the money - it's got a bigger endowment than it could spend in multiple generations. Only question is whether it will do the right thing.
Maybe time to put some pressure on the administration - that is if you all actually care about social justice and are not just posturing until you get your cushy Wall Street job.
