SOCI 1501W Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Legacy Preferences, Fafsa
Document Summary
Answer: what it boils down to is not the universities financial stability as a whole, but how much money the get donated from alumni. Kahlenberg states that, they found that institutions with preferences for children of alumni did have higher annual giving per alumnus ( versus. ), but that the advantage resulted because the alumni in colleges with alumni preferences tended to be wealthier. Answer: i feel like it discredits the reputation of schools like harvard. The girls" example in the beginning with nothing really stands out and harvard not really the right place shows that by qualification she was not harvard ready. Because she ended up being admitted because of her mom attendance there, a more highly qualified student with their dream being going to harvard and thinking, i worked so hard my whole life i got this was denied.
