From what I understand, a legacy is given preference during the early decision period only. To me this makes sense because the only reason a legacy is given preference is because the legacy is indicating their commitment to the school in exchange for the school’s commitment to their family. Once the legacy enters the regular decision round, the legacy status is neutralized. I’ve seen this happen with too many people to believe anything else.
