How do you prove that though? It seems to me that you could easily cover that up unless it's an open system.
The importance of family legacy is certainly subjective. By the same token, it's probably an easy check to see if admission rates correlate with the money a family has donated to a specific school.
There are some cases where data on large donations is publicly available, but not always. School rosters are easy enough to find as well.
Still though, I am sure there are nuances with this that I cannot even fathom.
It's pretty easy for kids that only get admitted because of legacy. If they have a below average gpa and test scores, but still get accepted.
