<p>Both of my parents have been Yale professors for over 20 years, and are very well respected in their fields. Next year I will be a junior, so I'm wondering if this will help my chances at all. I don't think I would get legacy status since neither of my parents went to Yale. </p>
<p>Also, my dad's side of the family has been at Harvard for four generations, and my mom's side for two generations. How much will this help my chances?</p>
<p>You need to ask your parents to find out if Yale has tuition exchange agreements for faculty children with any other colleges/universities. Many universities do have these agreements with other institutions. They also should find out if faculty children have preferential treatment in admissions at Yale. Some universities do favor the children of their own faculty members. At the very least, your parents surely know someone who knows someone in the admissions office who can sit down with the three of you and can give you all some guidance on the whole college application process.</p>
<p>After 20 years I’m sure they have good connections you’ll probably get at least a little boost at the minimum. At other schools prob not</p>
<p>Your parents are Yale professors and you are posting this question on a blog? Go ask your parents. They know the answer to this question.</p>

<p>Yes. “Facbrats” get a significant boost in the admissions process, generally much bigger than the small tip legacies get. And yes, I bet your parents know this.</p>
