[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5630000, member: 12508"] Harvard is an elite school, and the demand/competition for spots is intense. Your head is going to explode when "legacy applications" go away. Why should you get to attend Harvard just because Daddy went there? A true meritocracy wouldn't take legacy into account. This is just another way of preserving wealth and privilege for the aristocracy. I'm guessing Dubya didn't get into Yale because he was smart, but because Daddy went there. Fair, right? Ummm....no. If it becomes a true meritocracy, Harvard would be far less White, and probably predominately Asian-American. BTW, [I]Chinese [/I]people have no standing in our legal system. Chinese-[I]Americans [/I]do. Someone posted that this was part of some long game by the Chinese government, which is so dumb I can't believe it was put forth. [/QUOTE]
