91% Informative

California is the fifth state in the US to ban universities from admitting students based on family connections.

The ban applies to private non-profit colleges popular with wealthy Americans , including Stanford and the University of Southern California .

Illinois , Colorado and Virginia have previously passed legislation banning public university admission based on “legacy status”.

The public University of California system eliminated legacy admissions in 1998 .

It’s not yet clear how the new anti-legacy laws will play out in practice.

Children from wealthy, highly-educated and well-connected families have many different kinds of advantages when approaching the increasingly competitive colleges admissions process.
