The decision by two Ivy League schools to end preferential treatment for legacy applicants by 5/15/24 marks a significant shift toward fairness in college admissions. For years, legacy admissions have given an advantage to students from privileged backgrounds, often at the expense of equally or more qualified applicants. This change promotes a more merit-based system, increasing opportunities for first-generation and underrepresented students. Universities should focus on talent and achievement rather than family connections. For students navigating these changes, fast assignment help can provide essential academic support. Hopefully, more institutions will follow this example.

@MichaeldelaMaza this can resolve NO. It's past may 15th and all 8 ivies still use preferential treatment for legacies.

(harvard is listed as "under review" but that's it)

Confusingly written title

@reed Alternative?

@MichaeldelaMaza my question is whether the market is based on whether they will stop granting special consideration to legacy students, or (as your title seems to imply) refuse to accept them at all.

@simoj Special consideration - changed title
