Legacy at Penn

I am a parent, and I have a JD from law school at UPenn. Does this count as legacy for the purposes of admissions to the undergraduate school? Does UPenn even care about legacy?

Thank you!

Yes

Yes, particularly if applying ED

Good news: UPenn is one of the few top schools that recognize legacy from all the schools of the university (UG & G)

Practical news: it only clicks in for ED

Less good news: legacy isn’t as big a boost at UPenn as you might be hoping, not least b/c there are so many alums!

Yep, use it (legacy) in ED, or lose it.
