<p>Just out of curiosity, how do you have a legacy at ALL of these schools? Have you checked with the schools to ensure that your alumni connection actually counts as a legacy? Many schools only count a parent or grandparent attending as an undergraduate for legacy, and the amount of slack cut to a legacy varies by school and the amount of money your family member has donated. Your list is realistic, even if you don’t have legacies, but just be careful.</p>
