<p>Adcoms want kids with different experiences, not a bunch of nerds :p</p>
<p>My friend did do fairly well in her ECs internship etc. My point is other hardworking kids don’t get such wonderful chance to prove themselves. </p>
<p>Also, I think adcoms understand that these kids with legacy will most likely get in IVYs or other top universities. That only helps boost the boarding school’s profile, so why not…</p>
