Won't happen. Ivy League schools always give preference to legacy students.Getting into an Ivy League school is the entire challenge. Everyone who goes there graduates though most of the non legacy, non affirmative action admits are generally pretty sharp, to be sure.
Moreover-- even a "less qualified" student who gets into an Ivy League school... tends to have better credentials than a good % of students at any public university. Originally Posted by Grace Preston

One of my best friends went to Princeton though and he was a smart motherfucker. He never bragged about it to anyone though....
