<p>More than 40% of the incoming class at Harvard every year is on a legacy.</p>

<p>I don't dispute your claim that the Ivy's have to do this for financial reasons, but that doesn't refute my assertion that these schools are family clubs. If anything this supports my argument and more distressingly, it points out the reality that this won't be changing anytime soon</p>

<p>You still have not provided any evidence to corroborate this claim!</p>

<p>"You still have not provided any evidence to corroborate this claim!"</p>

<p>Its science</p>

<p>I saw it on the Yale website a few years ago as well...I'll try and find something for you</p>

<p>Please do, because your post does not possess the slightest amount of credibility.</p>

<p>Also, even if you successfully prove that 40% of the accepted applicants at Yale are legacies, you cannot necessarily draw the conclusion that all Ivy Leagues are the same; you would (I think) be committing the fallacy of composition.</p>

<p>I am curious, what was his GPA when he was about to graduate from yale?</p>

47

<p>"they said he was about to graduate WITH HONORS (3.85+ gpa)."</p>

<p>hahahaha - for those who feel this validates his crime, or proves Yale is a dump, or proves he was brilliant - hate to bust your bubble, but ...</p>

<p>the guy was a criminal, he probably cheated his way to a high GPA - never overlook the most obvious answer to an apparent discrepancy, IMHO</p>

<p>It's NOT true that 40% of Harvard's or Yale's admits are legacies. What is true is that Harvard accepts their legacy admits at a rate of 40%. Yale admits theirs at a rate of 30%. That is a very different thing than saying 30 or 40percent of the student body attending these schools are legacies.</p>

<p>A.S.A.P.</p>

<p>I think the fact that no evidence was provided clearly proves illmaticmindstate's claim in the negative;)</p>

<p>Just proves GPA isn't always an indicator of future academic performance.</p>

<p>I think Yale is more embarrassed than anything. LOL</p>

<p>ha ha , no its not,</p>
