For what it’s worth, I was actually legitimately confused as to what you meant. I figured that if you were arguing that a school that didn’t have undergrads gave its own undergrads an advantage, I must be missing something. (EDIT: It turned out that I was.)

If we’re going to compare lists, Stanford, Wash U, Duke, Hopkins, and (according to Shraf) Columbia definitely put their own undergrads at a mild disadvantage. Rumors fly that the UCs do the same thing, but it would seem that this is not the case, at least at Los Angeles.

As I’ve stated elsewhere, Northwestern and Emory put their own undergrads at an advantage. If you’re telling me that BU, NYU, GW and Cornell do, too, I have no factual basis for disagreeing with you (and therefore don’t disagree with you).
