<p>Does legacy provide any admissions bump for a RD application, or does it only help in ED?</p>
<p>Does Duke the children of graduate degree recipients as legacies, or is it merely undergrad?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Don’t quote me, but I’m nearly sure it provides a bump in both the RD and ED application processes, also to be a recipient of a legacy status you can have a relative with an undergraduate or graduate degree for the bump. Hope I helped.</p>
<p>The definition for “legacy” according to the admissions website is:</p>
<p>“A legacy student is an applicant who has grandparents, parents, or siblings who have attended or are attending Duke.”</p>
<p>So I’m assuming it applies to any former student of Duke who received a degree there. </p>
<p>It should give you extra consideration in both rounds. However, because of the huge applicant pool in the RD round, the effect of being a legacy applicant is necessarily diluted. In other words, it gives you more bang for your buck in the ED round than RD round.</p>
