<p>I am a legacy, and I was recently waitlisted at Harvard. Will I have a better chance of getting off the waitlist because I am a legacy?</p>
<p>It depends on the reason for your waitlisting. Some sources say that some students are waitlisted because they are legacies, in which case the waitlist does not look too promising. However, it might be that you were close and you’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it’s the latter!</p>
<p>i really doubt you will get in just for being a legacy, you are probably going to stay there with thousands of “normal” kids.</p>
