legacy benefit?

<p>My daughter is applying ED to Hamilton, from which I graduated some years ago. Her scores/grades are a bit below the school's stated averages. Does anyone have a sense of how much extra consideration Hamilton gives to legacy applicants? Any examples you can speak of? Thanks</p>

<p>Hamilton loves legacies. I know many people who have siblings on this campus and parents as alumni. However, all of these students had the scores. Legacy is a hook. But it doesn’t make up for lack luster scores. Hamilton’s testing policy is pretty liberal so take advantage. Best of luck!</p>
