[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An HYP board of trustees member told me after SCEA round this year that legacy requires double hook. Meaning legacy plus one more hook. Legacy recruited athlete. Or legacy URM. Or legacy mega donor in the millions. Or legacy national academic award winner. What he intimated was that legacy alone is increasingly not itself anything. [/quote] Surprising that a board member would be out of the loop or late to the game but their interactions with Admissions are limited. Legacy status alone has only been a small plus and only in the early round for some schools for quite a while. The board member is smart to significantly temper expectations when chatting with alums though; I'm sure they consistently do that. If you are well connected to a board member and they are willing to vouch for it, that helps a lot (I temporarily worked in Admissions at a highly selective non-HYP school).[/quote]
