How Much Does Legacy at Babson Help?

I have heard that with legacy it can become much easier to be accepted is this true?

If I’m being honest, my boyfriend’s brother is a junior now at Babson. He was a legacy and wanted to go there and applied ED or EA not sure which. After Babson received his application, they sent him a letter saying that even though he was a legacy this did not mean he would be accepted (sounds really rude but they probably just wanted him to know he wasn’t entitled.) but obviously he got in so maybe it helps, but I wanted you to know that really happened.
