<p>Is double legacy more valuable than single legacy? It seems like it obviously would be but in your opinion does double legacy have much greater value than single legacy, a little bit greater value or equal value? I'm sorry for such a stupid question, I really would appreciate any answers.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>^ My understanding is that it is not more valuable. Once you qualify as a legacy (parent or grandparent who’s an alum), that’s it. The admissions office doesn’t give an applicant with 2 parents who are alums more of a boost than an applicant with only one alum parent, or an applicant with 2 parents and a grandparent who are alums more of a boost than an applicant with only 2 alumni parents. They just don’t make those kinds of distinctions.</p>
<p>And this is based on everything I’ve ever read and heard about legacy admissions as an alum, as well as my attendance at a couple of legacy admissions informational sessions at Penn.</p>
