[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the legacy come into play only for REA or ED? My DC would be a Harvard legacy applicant and we have donated regularly for many, many years but low dollar. DC is a very reasonable candidate with rigor, grades, SAT at the 75th percentile - ECs good but not national level. My guess, and college counselor’s, is that DC would be a strong ED at T20 but Harvard just because of legacy - eh?[/quote] We've learned this time that legacy didn't help DD. I can't say that it's because DD didn't have the stats or a competitive app given that she got into 4 ivies (3 of which are ivy pluses), Berkeley and Duke. Ironically (or maybe not so ironically), she didn't get into the legacy institution (was deferred, waitlisted and then eventually rejected).[/quote]
