[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming your child is clearly in the admit pool - top test scores, strong transcript, etc. - AND your child applies early decision, then legacy will make a difference. Admission officers do not look up donation records. If a family is a development case, then the fundraising group will notify the admissions office. But, admissions officers know alumni who do interviews and its always harder to deny a child of someone you know, even if the parent recuses herself that year. [/quote] [b]Don't colleges that do alumni interviews REQUIRE alumni interviewers to step aside the year that a family member is applying to the school? [/b] Even if the interviewer isn't interviewing at a son's or daughter's high school, there is an appearance of a conflict of interest in interviewing others who are applying from the area that year.[/quote] Mine does.
