<p>Important: Does anyone on CC know if the legacy status of a double legacy applicant(mom and dad both graduated from Penn/Wharton) would be worth TWICE as much as a single legacy applicant(mom OR dad graduated from Penn)? It's only seems logical, correct?
I need to know!</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing!! And if it goes up more and more with the additional legacy yoi have… Pretty much my whole family goes to penn! Go quakers 
still nervous about friday though…</p>
<p>are you kidding me??? give me a break…</p>
<p>There are no degrees of legacy–you either are (at least one parent or grandparent an alum of any school at Penn), or you aren’t. You don’t get bonus points for more than one parent or grandparent alum:</p>

<p>Wow, I thought I was the lucky one with Double Legacy! Only one day, 18 hours, 12 min until we find out if we will carry on the legacy!! Hurrah for the red and blue!</p>
<p>Hmm… maybe. That’s different from what my interviewer said though…</p>
<p>^45 percenter</p>
<p>I think that the Penn web site on legacy admissions is fairly authoritative. :rolleyes: And what it says is what I’ve heard at various alumni and admissions gatherings on campus.</p>
<p>So there is no benefit to having Double Legacy over just plain legacy? What if both your mom and dad went 4 years undergrad AND 4 years grad at Penn? Is this an advantage?</p>
<p>no…</p>
<p>@Penn psycho, are you just relying on your legacy status? Penn obviously wants more than just legacy status.
If you’re stressed, maybe give us your stats and we can help you out based on real factors.
:)</p>
<p>I just creeped and 7 of pennpsycho’s 8 posts include the phrase “double legacy” at least once haha</p>
<p>It really doesn’t seem logical in terms of fairness. A legacy advantage is already considerable. Doubling it just because both of your parents went there…that’d just be ridiculous. If you’re a legacy, you’re a legacy. I highly doubt Penn categorizes legacies.</p>
<p>It’s like saying my grandfather and both of my parents went to Penn. I’m a triple legacy. Congratulations, pat yourself on the back, but you’re still only a legacy in Penn’s eyes.</p>
<p>I’ll just laugh in your face once I get in and you don’t get in.</p>
<p>Oh wait… I’m a first generation immigrant! </p>
<p>GG ;)</p>
<p>^
first generation immigrant isn’t a legacy…a recent one MIGHT be</p>
<p>*Double Legacy Status</p>
<p>Far from it, suks2buwol. </p>
<p>I took the ACT last year with Swine Flu and pulled out a 26. My SAT scores were discounted because I spilled orange gatorade on my answer sheet, but if I had to guess I’d say on a 2400 scale it was probably a 2250. And while my 3.67 gpa(wisdom teeth last spring :/), ecs, teacher letters of rec, and essays aren’t anything to brag about, I am POSITIVE the letter my college counselor(a well known Penn Graduate) sent in is a scale tipper–big time.</p>
<p>She just faxed it to me moments ago and I don’t want to boast, but she did say that I was “the next Mark Zuckerberg.” (he created Facebook)</p>
<p>@ParagonD6</p>
<p>I never said I was legacy… what the hell? Read more closely.</p>
<p>@pennpsycho , are you kidding? those scores are super low. It doesn’t matter if your grandfather founded Penn, you’re not going to make it.
I guess someone just had to open your eyes before Friday…</p>
<p>@pennpsycho, gosh and for a second I thought you were real and not a ■■■■■. I can no longer read anything you post and think its the truth. You just made yourself look silly, A 26 ACT will not get you in, your and a 3.67 is low. Oh and even god’s recommendation letter won’t make up for that.</p>
<p>Keep it classy fellas.</p>
<p>@Wikiman, I’m not saying i like pennpsycho but that was a little harsh. People think they can say whatever they want on the internet but it still hurts real people. Think about what you say before you completely destroy someone’s self-esteem.</p>
