<p>twentyfourteen said she had to work very hard for ECs and stuff, while legacy kids get in so easily.</p>
<p>I was trying to correct her impression that legacy kids have nothing except connections. Regardless of legacy, the kinds of experiences that they have help a lot. Even if my friend hides the fact that she’s legacy kid, adcoms still see in her profile that she interned at SP500 company and did fairly well in summer programs at Yale/Brown, went to charity in Africa etc. she’ll still get in. If someone has that kind of orientation and experiences since so early, he/she will likely turn out great and get in good universities anyway. That’s all my point - to correct her impression that legacy kids have nothing except connections.</p>
<p>pulsar I wasn’t trying to argue with you, I didn’t even read your posts before today or know your point :D</p>
