<p>i think any and every advantage is free game. everyone will use any and every advantage available to them and rightfully so. legacies didn’t ask to be born to harvard graduates, athletes work their asses off in a different way, and black kids didn’t ask to be born black. you would be remiss not to use every possible advantage. but as for writing the essay, see my previous post for my views on that… there is such a thing as overdoing it.</p>
