I think they are equally bad because both take lesser applicants instead of more qualified applicants. If anything certain legacy admissions may be worse because a Black student who got a 5 on the 2 AP exams his/her school offered because it was a poor district and that is all they could afford and did not have the benefit of SAT prep courses so while he/she did reasonably well it was not quite at the same level as what is normally seen of admitted students would probably have more potential than a legacy admission who took the same 2 AP exams but his/her school offered 15 or more AP classes and only got the same SAT score because of intensive, expensive prep courses. Granted my hypotehtical involved an extreme case, but overall I do not think any one admission preference is better or worse than another |
