“The pool of legacy applicants is substantially stronger than the average of the rest of the pool. The grades and test scores of the legacies we admit are higher than the average of the rest of the admitted class, and the legacies that matriculate achieve higher grades at Yale than non-legacy students with the same high school grades and test scores.”

Can’t find the article to read it, but this supports my point that legacies at HYP are more qualfied than the class on average, and that in fact, there is NO legacy preference.
