I am readying stories about legacy admissions. Let me tell you about a little conversation I had about legacy admission to IvyLeague/Stanford. A family I know (both mom/dad are children of immigrants) had a kid who got into Harvard and/or Stanford. (not specifying which one to protect identity). Both parents went to public college for undergrad and then went to top school for law/medicine. Their kid went through K-12 in private school. When their child got into the top college for undergrad, I asked how many from that same high school got into the top Harvard/Stanford. Mom said 3 got into that college. And later, dad said 6 from the high school got into same college, and mentioned 3 out of 6 were legacy admissions. As far as the mom was concerned, the legacy admissions didn't even count as real admittance. :)
