<p>Does anyone know if it helps for the parents to be an alumni of SEAS? Does it help with admissions at all?</p>
<p>It does, but just barely. Unless your parents have been speakers, or have donated large sums of cash to the school, I wouldn’t say it does much. Legacy is slightly more looked upon for Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Just slightly.</p>
<p>I disagree. It will definitely help. Most Ivy League schools are pretty heavy on legacy.</p>
<p>If you look at the Common Data Set for any of the Ivy League, they show how little it matters. However don’t get me wrong, such a relation can do nothing but help you. Albeit, it might not be much help, but it might be enough.</p>
<p>As a harvard student once told me, it’s going to be one extra plus in a million plusses.</p>
