<p>Does legacy at Penn extend to all 4 undergrad colleges? For example, let's say I have single legacy at Penn SAS. Will that serve any advantage if I were to apply to Wharton ED?</p>
<p>My same question applies to grad school and whether grad school legacy helps an applicant for undergrad admissions, and vice-versa (does undergrad legacy help at Wharton Business School? Is there such thing as grad school legacy boost, period?)</p>
<p>yes 10 char</p>
<p>My understanding is no official grad school legacy boost, i.e. if applying to one of the grad/professional schools legacy is not a help.</p>
<p>Undergrad legacy is a boost, most importantly, some argue, only ED. Your legacy status will help at any of the schools you apply to undergrad.</p>
<p>Yes: When applying as an undergraduate, having a legacy at any of the undergraduate or graduate schools helps you if you apply ED.</p>
<p>No idea how legacies are considered for admission to the graduate schools, but for any of the undergraduate schools, you will get a little boost in admissions no matter which specific school, graduate or undergraduate, your parent attended.</p>
<p>Trust me. I was asking all of the same questions about a year ago. My dad got his MBA (graduate) at Penn and I was definitely considered a “legacy applicant” even though I was applying to CAS… legacy applicants get a supplemental on-campus interview and advice from the Sweeten Alumni House, which I’m assuming helped my chances a bit.</p>
<p>Here’s the “official” confirmation, not that SM needs any backup :)</p>
