I didn't just drive past it. I ATTENDED it.

No you said you chose THAT high school because you drove past it all the time. I wasn't questioning whether or not you attended merely the reasoning behind why you should be given preferance because you just chose that school because you drove past it. Unless you tell me at age 7 you weighed all the options and alternatives for education and then made an educated choice to go to that school then I don't think that's a plausible reason. Sorry.

In equal cases of well roundedness and grades, yes, because that's the nature of the NDHS curriculum to prepare you for college. It so over prepared me for college that I was bored my first 2 years of general education. Getting into that HS was also difficult as it's a private school with high standards of entrance exams and interviews for students AND family.

My question is to you though what if a person had no choice where they went to school(elementary and secondary) yet were as qualified or more qualified than an alum of that high school why should legacy provide you a chance and deny them the same chance based upon privilage alone? How is that equitable? How does that strengthen the school from an academic stand point?
