      This is why Harvard and other Ivy League schools wanted to preserve affirmative action programs. Those exist to make the school look better while like a quarter to a third of their students are legacies.

      That’s the real affirmative action. If you’re the child of an alumni, you’re like 10x more likely to get in compared to a non-legacy applicant.
