<p>Yale has produced 4 of the past 6 U.S. Presidents, as well as a candidate for the White House in every U.S. election since 1972, as well as a President of Mexico, etc., etc., etc. These are very high-profile figures and the fact that they went to Yale is mentioned over and over and over… It is true that, out of all of these famous people, a couple of them were legacies. That’s probably where the media bias comes in. But the vast majority of students at Yale are not legacies and, contrary to popular belief, there is no real admissions advantage for legacies.</p>
