Higher Education's Biggest Scam Is Legacy Admissions Policies

Now we’re talking the whole class, not legacies. Oxbridge, like many US publics, isn’t trying to build the same sort of broad community. Even UCB and UCLA are holistic, when wading through the tidal wave of top academic applicants. Holistic schools with fierce competition can cherry pick among them.

Neither UCB nor UCLA uses legacy (or race/ethnicity) in its holistic admissions readings.
