Re: Toughest school to get into debate (Cal Tech vs. Harvard)
My buddy got into Princeton without any real connections (this was in 2000). His scores were outstanding though. His EC weren't amazing. He was in the band.
I don't think Legacies are that big. I went to Cornell which is a "lower tier" Ivy. I don't think it hurts to have a legacy but I don't think it'll really plow your way in unless your dad is buying a building or something.
