Wealthy kids have plenty going for them. I don't fear that universities would be underfunded if alumni couldn't get admissions for their money. IMHO it's socially acceptable corruption, -paying for something undeserved.You know, I actually don't really mind legacy admissions that much, even though I myself am not one. The dirty little secret is that institutions are also businesses, they exist to make money on some level. Legacies are more likely to donate.
