[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's Princeton, it could help. The others, not so much. [/quote] They still consider legacy, but I really don't think it makes a difference unless you are a major donor or otherwise VERY accomplished. My DC applied this year and we received a form letter "damage control" for alumni, pretty much saying they are grateful for alumni, but that it doesn't assure acceptance. They wouldn't go to all the trouble to write to all the alumni who have applicants unless there are a lot of people making a stink because their DC didn't get the fat envelope. My instinct is that they keep "legacy as consideration" to encourage alumni to make big gifts. But in reality for most alumni, it won't move the needle for your kid. [/quote]
