[quote=Anonymous]"In any given year, the vast majority (around 70 percent) of legacy applicants are denied admission." But "Princeton University admissions has an acceptance rate of 6% and an early acceptance rate of 15.5%." (https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/princeton-university-2627/applying) So the legacy admit rate is 2 to 5 times as high as the overall rate. They say that's almost entirely because those applicants are more qualified. Could be true, but there's no way to know. Even if the admissions office is not consciously trying to give a bump, they might treat them differently. [/quote]
