You're unaware there are people who more easily get into elite schools because of their parents?
Educate yourself. It is a widespread systemic problem often called affirmative action for Whites: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_preferences https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_preferences
"Nepobaby" (as in nepotism baby) or simply "Legacy" is more commonly used.
This skips what is supposed to be a meritocracy and can quite straightforwardly be argued to be perpetuating an oligarchy and plutocracy
So yes, it's negative.

Anyway sounds pretty rude to claim that a specific student was admitted thanks to his parents without any evidence. Thank you for your recommendation regarding the topics I need to educate myself on.
