[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard has 42% legacy admits.[/quote] They also have many more legacy applicants than they can admit, so it is a potential bump but in raw numbers, not that big. Also, there are alumni and then there are alumni. How much and how often has the alum donated to the school or come back for reunions etc. Athletes have a bigger bump if the coach wants them.[/quote] It means more seats set aside for a smaller pool of applicants, as opposed to the largest part of the applicant pool fighting for the left over seats.[/quote]
