[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard that at some places legacy is most valuable if your child applies ED. I've even heard that if your child is a legacy it can be a negative if they don't apply ED and their chances in RD go down, though I'm not sure about that. And I think this all varies a lot from school to school. And some schools like siblings.[/quote] Honestly, these rumors are tedious. What you’ve heard versus the reality is different. It depends entirely on specifics and the strength of your kid’s application. For marginal kid you may be right. But they likely weren’t getting in anyway. How many other institutional priorities did the kid hit in the review process other than legacy? If you haven’t hit more than one, your chances are slim. My kid got into our double parent legacy T10 in regular decision. Also multiple other T20. This entirely depends on the applicants profile…. and how much engagement you’ve had with the school.[/quote]
