<p>Does anyone know what sort of importance or weight the admissions office at Haverford College places on being a legacy? Is it a big boost for the application or nothing substantial?</p>
<p>According to Haverford’s Common Data Set, alumni/ae relation (legacy status) is considered in admissions decisions, but not important or very important. Legacy is rated the same (considered) as the interview, being first generation to college, geographic area, racial/ethnic status and level of applicant’s interest. So I would interpret this as not being a big boost, but more than nothing.</p>
