<p>Does anyone know how much being a legacy helps your application…</p>
<p>it will put you over somebody who doesn't have a legacy but won't gurantee you admission or anything</p>
<p>Let's put it this way. My job has me in contact with plenty of alumni. I've had plenty of conversations where they have decided not to give money to the school anymore because their son/daughter did not get accepted. Being a legacy can only help if you have a strong application to back it up.</p>
