The only thing I can think about for legacy preferences is that it keeps wealthier families in the loop, or used to at least. Or helps with alumni giving because they are more satisfied. I don’t know. But unless there’s proof that it helps with funds or something (which I could understand why colleges would want that), I see it on the same level as AA. It’s really dumb.</p>
<p>However, applicants aren’t legacies to all schools they apply to, and it affects a much smaller %. The underlying principle I don’t agree with either.</p>
<p>You can apply the same statement that someone is “a woman to gain a better job/a boyfriend/ or more attention from police when she needs help?”. With “a man to gain a better job/a girlfriend”. I don’t think that’s a necessarily valid point. Because it seems like men have better jobs than women (generally). And it’s not like most women are going to want a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend? As for the last part, I did a quick Google search with “do police favor women”, and couldn’t find any definitive results.</p>
<p>I don’t get the part about her taking scholarship money from a women in college fund? I don’t know if it’s the errors in that sentence but I don’t get what you were trying to say.</p>
<p>With women now though, the reason %'s are higher for female enrollment is that girls outperform boys in school. </p>
<p>I don’t see how she is taking advantage of being white. You don’t get any automatic boosts as far as I know in college admissions for being white.</p>
