<p>My dad went to undergraduate school at UPenn. How much does being a legacy help?</p>
<p>please use the search function next time as there have been countless threads on this. you only have an advantage if you apply early decision, and it’s fairly substantial as long as you’re “competitive” in the first place</p>
<p>^ That’s what I thought but someone told me otherwise. Thank you.</p>
<p>^ First lesson of college applications, what “somebody told me” is an extremely unreliable source of information, unless that person is a Penn college admissions officer or the like.</p>
<p>Just about everything you need to know about applying as a Penn legacy can be found at the [Penn</a> Alumni Admissions Resource Center](<a href=“http://www.alumni.upenn.edu/aca/]Penn”>http://www.alumni.upenn.edu/aca/).</p>
