[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still matters at some schools but definitely getting to be less and less. We had a strong legacy candidate (stronger on paper than you describe) denied at Hopkins [/quote] Hopkins never considered legacy, so there’s that. [/quote] There are many articles about Hopkins "ending legacy preference". Makes it sound like they used to have it.[/quote] According to a Washington Post article, they ended legacy preferences in 2014. As a result, legacy was previously 9% of incoming freshmen in 2013 and it fell to 2% of incoming freshmen in 2022. Though it may be just rumors, I thought I read somewhere that Bloomberg - by far the biggest donor to JHU - did not like legacy and that was what motivated the change. [/quote]
