[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband attended St. Alban's and we donate money every year. Will that give my son a significant edge in getting in? Is legacy a strong component in admissions?[/quote] Troll. Real legacy don't ask.[/quote] Agree that real legacy don't ask. But I suspect that rather than a troll, it's a non-legacy trying to game out her son's real-life chances. The answer, of course, is that if you are truly a legacy and truly give every year, that will be noted by the admissions committee. How much of an edge will be determined by how far one's DH has taken that STA education (money, power, fame, or not) and by how much is actually donated every year (if one is of means, and they're just throwing in nominal sums as a place holder, that of course doesn't quite count in the same way that throwing in enough funds that the new athletic field will be adorned with your last name).[/quote]
