Does U of Michigan consider legacy?

<p>On the supplement you were asked to list any alumni relatives. So I'm wondering, does Michigan consider legacy when reviewing an application, and if so, to what extent?</p>

<p>not very much. gpa, testing are 1st priority, then ec and essays, then recs, then is vs oos, and then legacy</p>

<p>hopefully not a lot</p>

<p>Both of my parents got two degrees from UofM. Do you think that will help me or is it not really that significant?</p>

<p>We were told that regardless of how many family members have attended, an applicant can get 1 “bump” for being a legacy. I think if you’re on the fence, it would help.</p>
