Princeton has 12% of incoming Freshmen with legacy preferences, the highest of the Ivy League. I thought we had moved to much more of a meritocracy in the 1960’s, but apparently not as much as I thought.

to the places that do not emphasize “legacy”. I was surprised and disappointed when I learned how many of the “top” schools overemphasized this totally un-meritocratic criterion.
