[quote=Anonymous]Came across an article in the Chronicle, "Which Colleges Consider Legacies in Their Admissions? Not Just the Ones You're Thinking" published 12/12/23 with data from the US Department of Education. I was curious who was on the list and who was not. It may not be the most up to date as I think some schools have announced changes recently, such as Wesleyan. For the non-legacy schools I looked at those listed in USNWR. These are schools with acceptance rates under 30% minus a few specialty schools. Order is most selective schools on top.
