Re: Toughest school to get into debate (Cal Tech vs. Harvard)
I find it very amusing how people still think connections are necessary for the top ivies. Most are phasing out the favoritism of legacies, etc. They obviously still get some treatment, but no one gets into Hravard or Yale with a 1350 SAT just b/c there dad went there. Basically, they have way more than enough applicants above 1500 SAT, 4.0, etc. so legacies are an easy way to pick some out of this group. I have had two guest lecturers in seminar who came b/c they were trying to get a kid/grandkid in. They were doing this b/c they had already figured out they couldn't buy a spot wihtout a ridiculous amount of money.
