I am considering ED to the school of Arts and Sciences at UPenn. While I’m not a legacy, my mom’s entire side of the family went and just had a classroom named after them (their last name is my middle name and I might be able to get a letter written from one of them). I’m not sure if that will actually help but I figure having that connection can’t hurt.
