[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is legacy only parents or does it include grandparents/uncles/cousins etc?[/quote] It varies by the school. Northwestern asks about parents, grandparents, cousins, siblings, uncles, aunts, etc. Penn asks about parents. Harvard doesn't ask at all (but you list parents degrees on the Common App).[/quote] But Harvard is big on legacies, no? So their ADs must be going through the Common App with magnifying glasses.[/quote] LOL! But so worth it considering their current general admission rate is around 6% (virtually impossible) vs 33% for legacies.[/quote] No, the admissions rate for non-legacies is around 3%. The 5% general rate includes legacies, who are admitted at a rate of 30-35%. [/quote]
