Legacy Admissions in College
As far as an offshoot of the whole Affirmative Action topic, I thought I'd try spawing a new one. What are your feelings towards Legacy admissions at schools. I for one don't like them. I mean even if I was a beneficiary of a legacy admission I'd feel almost cheated...not knowing if it was because I was a good student or because dad went here first. Take our current president...its not secret his academic record wasn't perfect, but because his father and grandfather were both distinguished Alumi from Yale. I think its wrong that someone can actually have an advantage of admissions just because a family member before went.
