[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do some real research, UNC released public statement that oos legacies no longer preferred.[/quote] Yikes. You ok? I have done real research. I’m also an alumna with a junior who may be applying next year so I’ve done recent research. OOS legacy applicants do get an extra review. That may not be the bump you consider preferential treatment but to me it is, especially with AI reviewing applications (which Carolina does). A legacy counts as a parent or a grandparent. It doesn’t put them in the instate pile like it used to for UVA OOS, but they sort of get their own pile. I do think alumni believe their kids get a real boost and then are disappointed when their kid gets denied. Basically I think if in committee it comes down to 2 kids who seem to have identical scores, grades, EC, they may push for that legacy kid to differentiate. It’s still basically a lottery. Hope your day gets better and you aren’t so snippy anymore. GDTBATH. [/quote]
