<p>As a Princeton student, I think it’s pretty obvious there’s a distinct edge for legacies…most of the least qualified kids there that I have met are all legacies. That being said, I know plenty of talented legacies too. Legacy isn’t something to really worry about…nice to have, but no big deal if you don’t. </p>
<p>That being said, it’s good for schools like Princeton and Yale to give legacies a bit of an advantage…any sort of prestigious institution will value legacy.</p>
