[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school. Some will consider it, others don't. The key is, alumni status alone doesn't do much, regardless of the degree obtained, if you haven't been actively involved in the school since graduation, particularly by giving money. The point of legacy admissions is to encourage active involvement by alumni, and thus hopefully create new classes of active alumni (because people raised with the idea of staying actively involved in your alma mater are more likely to do it themselves), which generates more donations for the school. If you're an alum of the graduate school who then becomes a consistent financial supporter of both the grad school and the undergrad school, you might get legacy consideration. Simply graduating from a master's program and then doing nothing else won't get your child anything in the admissions process.[/quote]
