[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the HM matriculation insta, some of the toddlers in the photos are wearing UPenn-branded shirts.  They are now going to... well, I don't want to give out the spoiler.[/quote]

Or maybe they would have gotten in anyway, but the family connection and school spirit indoctrination is why they chose Penn over, say, Dartmouth.[/quote]

That is unfortunately the way the game is played. Some schools count legacies a fair amount. And at least some of them primarily count it if you apply ED. So do you apply ED to your legacy school, even if it isn't your top choice? And even if you aren't a huge donor, your odds of getting in as a legacy are often better than the odds of getting into a slightly less competitive school unhooked - the kid of an active legacy at Duke (even if they don't give a ton) might have a better chance of getting into Duke ED than Northwestern or Emory unhooked, even though in general Duke is a tougher admit.[/quote]
