Hello. Does anyone know if legacies ever get invited to Reilly weekends or are awarded merit scholarships (assuming they are otherwise competitive)? Or are these things used as tools to recruit strong students who might be unfamiliar with ND?
Those scholarships are unbiased towards legacies/non-legacies. Legacies just get a bit of a boost in the admissions process, depending how much the person has contributed to the university. Also almost no one gets those merit scholarships. So I wouldn’t expect much (but the need based financial aid is fantastic for most people).
