I also concur that having an auto admit as part of a faculty member’s contract sounds very unusual. I told my H, who’s on the math dept faculty at USC and knows faculty at some of the top schools (including the likes of those mentioned on this thread) and he hasn’t heard of it. At USC, children of faculty can attend tuition free but the student has to meet admission standards. There have been some turned away.

Children of USC math dept faculty have been admitted, but most have chosen to attend other schools. Sadly, USC does not offer college tuition costs at any other university, but just to those on a list of schools, none of which (except for a few women’s colleges) are of the same caliber or greater than USC.
