Sigh. Honestly, I disagree with Penn First, Penn’s largest first - generation low income group. Why do people have to have a higher advantage than others just because their ‘forefathers’ got accepted to Penn. Being honest, some of those students don’t have stats comparable to other students and despite this get accepted which is honestly disgusting. Also, some students get waitlisted /deferred / rejected because of these ‘legacies.’ It should become a fair process for all. Strictly merit- based 'cause that ensures equality.
@aoeuidhtns It really is difficult to envision this but honestly, I think these privileges shouldn’t be considered. Everyone should work by themselves to get in and not any other way around. One can’t be given the ‘privilege’ of being accepted because of their parents, or grandparents hard work.
If the alumni really love the school they went to, they should be willing to move it forward.
