Hoping Your Child Attends Your Alma Mater

I’m writing a story about legacy admissions for parents who would like their children to attend their alma mater. I would love to hear from a few parents about the topic — Why do you want it? How do you talk to your child about it? Do you think being a legacy will actually help them be admitted? Have you been disappointed by their reactions, and if so how did you handle?

If you have any thoughts, let me know!

What publication? Are you a journalist? What types of schools do you mean?

I would love for my child to attend my alma mater, but there are a lot of IFs involved: if he can get in and if we can pay for it and if that is the school he chooses. Before I would offer you any comments on that topic, I would want to know who you are and who you write for and what story you are trying to tell in your article. You can PM me with that information.
