<p>I'm currently a junior but I have several questions about this whole legacy idea.
I know what it is. It supposedly gives an advantage to those who have had family members attend the college before. Hence, the legacy.</p>
<p>But my question is this.
I go to a small school and have very competitive students who will probably get into the Ivy's. But I heard that they usually only take up to one or two students from every high school.</p>
<p>For that reason, I must ask will someone have an advantage over me if they have legacy.
I will list the schools so just tell the school name and whether or not someone will have advantage over me if they have legacy. I am listing the schools to account for the fact that every university has different policies</p>
