In Response to: The Legacy of Legacy [6]

The cover of the December issue of PAW could represent my family (minus grandpa’s cigar!) — my grandfather, father, uncle, stepfather, his brother, my two brothers, stepbrother, daughter, and myself all attended Princeton. As my 10th grade granddaughter approaches time for the college application exercise, I wonder whether or not she will be accepted if she applies to Princeton. I can see various pros and cons concerning legacies and am agnostic about their retention or elimination. Either way, I hope that my talented granddaughter will apply and gain admission based on what she has accomplished and all that she brings to the table.
