High acceptance rate of children of politicians at Ivies

[roethlisburger]

but basically it’s run in the way it’s always been run: through the largesse of very wealthy and/or powerful people. To be shocked that their children may have a leg up in admissions is imply to be naive. Or disingenuous. Possibly both.

At least one poster in this thread seems adamant wealth, power, and legacy status plays little role in admissions decisions. Do they fall into the naïve or disingenuous category or both?
