[quote=Anonymous]Highly selective colleges and universities are not going to admit students, legacy or not, who are unlikely to succeed. Legacy status is most likely to come into play when the admissions officers are comparing two equally qualified applicants. Some colleges don't consider legacy status at all, and for those that do consider it, legacy status is just a small factor in admissions decisions, Colleges know that being a legacy is a rather dubious distinction. When a college has holistic admissions, these pieces of the application will almost always carry more weight than legacy status: - A Strong Academic Record - Meaningful Extracurricular Involvement - A Winning Application Essay - Positive Letters of Recommendation - Good SAT or ACT Scores (except for test-optional colleges)[/quote]
