[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgive me if this is a silly question, but why would a school care about legacy if the parent/ grandparent doesn't have a history of financial support?[/quote] 1. Schools know that just because you don't have a history of financial support to your alma mater does not mean you won't support the school when you do have money later in life. And if your kid gets in you likely would be more inclined to support the school. 2. Legacy applicants on average are more likely to be full pay than non-legacy applicants (at least at Top 50 type schools). 3. Legacy applicants are typically more familiar with the school than the average admit and thus less likely to suffer from a poor fit and transfer out. 4. Legacy policies keep alumni tied to the school (visiting, attending tailgates, volunteering time, etc.) in the knowledge that their kids will get a boost if they want to apply some day.[/quote]
