<p>Let Yale, Pton and Harvard release their figures for legacies of all three schools when they apply. I bet it will show, for example, that Yale legacies are admitted to Harvard at almost the same rate as H legacies, and vice versa. Why? Because these kids have had all the advantages one can have. Of course they will be admitted at a higher rate (and deserve to be). Basically, this legacy preference is a scam to get contributions from gullible parents.</p>
