At the end of the day legacy students and their families bring in millions (maybe billions), why would they risk that by preventing a legacy student from admission. The positives greatly outweigh the cons.

When I went to Stanford there was a good amount of legacy students and tbh you can't really tell. If you come from wealth and aren't able to get into a top school you are most likely an idiot, and Stanford does a decent job filtering out the real stupid legacies.
