@Penn95; @f2000sa, totally agreed that “WRONG for UPPER middle class MINORITY candidates (which do exist in good numbers) to be enjoying a leg up in admissions”.
Legacy considered in admissions is not wrong but needed if the applicant is academically qualified.
Some spots must be allowed to applicants from LOW income and 1st generation. It is generally executed in all top colleges. That’s a good thing.
Indeed, pure stats (e.g., GPA, SAT/ACT) cannot absolutely predict the performance of an applicant in college and beyond.
The fact is that college education is a business.
