College Confidential - View Single Post - Using legacy/connections to get into college?

I know someone who has gotten bad grades and SATs, and practically no EC's but has "connections" to get into top schools, even ivies.

I don't understand how that is fair to those people who have worked so hard to get into a college and earn their spot.

So, what do you think about people, who have connections or are legacies at top schools, to get into college?
