<p>So, after submitting my supp, I remembered that I have several relatives (not parents, grandparents, or siblings, though) that attended Yale.</p>
<p>Should I email the adcom to notify this? One of them was a really high-achiever there.</p>
<p>Cip cip cip… cip cip cip…</p>
<p>sure, can’t hurt.</p>
<p>no not really, if they weren’t directly related to you, then it doesn’t make a huge difference, I also heard that to activate legacy you have to apply scea(not sure if that’s true or not?) and even direct legacy isn’t always that beneficial, Yale may think you’re just sending them unnecessary paper…Depends on the relative and what you mean by “high achioever” but I’d go with if there’s no room for it on the supplement, they don’t really care…</p>
<p>Yale does not have a policy that you must apply to SCEA to receive any legacy benefit.</p>
<p>I don’t think that the relatives you mention would have any impact unless one is a major donor who has mentioned you in talks with the development office.</p>
