Another anecdote...

Legacies are not automatically admitted to a competitive college especially Ivy Leagues. A friend from my youth had aspired to be the fourth generation in his family to attend an unnamed Ivy League, but he didn't have the SAT's and was rejected. His parents, grandfather, uncles, and great-grandfather were alumni, but that didn't help him at all. He wasn't a dumb guy by any means and attended a highly selective university, just not an Ivy League.
