[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be smart where you apply. If the legacy school fits everything you want in a school, then apply there early. That's a no brainer. But don't be delusional you'll get in based on legacy. All the kids in our friend circle/family circle with legacy to Top 5 have been rejected. [/quote] OP was a donor. She’s downplaying how much, but legacy who don’t back it up with checks won’t fare as well. [/quote] Double legacies where both have made consistent but smallish contributions for many years matter. Involvement with the school in other ways (volunteering, interviewing, reunion committees) also matter. Was either parent also a legacy admit? Now a grandparent and their contributions matter… No letters etc. from prominent classmates?[/quote]
