Legacy Admissions

from Axios Re:Cap · host Axios

College admissions are theoretically based on high GPAs, test scores and strong admissions essays. But there’s another way students get accepted through legacy admissions, which wealthy students with alumni families get admitted to universities through their connections. Could we see more top-tier universities close this side door for wealthy students? Axios Re:Cap talks with chief financial correspondent and author of the weekly Axios Capital newsletter Felix Salmon on legacy admissions.
