Oh, so legacies are among the most brilliant in the land? Sorry. I did not realize legacies dominated the ranks of valedictorians, perfect scores on the SAT and perfect scores on the ACT.

Frankly, this discussion has become rather silly. You legacy parents are welcome to labor under the belief that your kids have surmounted huge odds in getting into elite schools, or received little benefit for their pedigree. Life will tell whether their overcoming these challenges was character building or not.

With that, I will bow out of this discussion.
