When I worked a a large hospital with may Yale and Harvard educated doctors, many lamented the fact legacy didn’t give the pull it once did. Double legacy children they felt were very qualified were not admitted (although got into other fine colleges) and I’m sure many factors go into it and they spoke of the decline over the years.
One doctor joked, "Yes, the “I went there” isn’t the golden ticket anymore.
