Lots of BS here! At Harvard, your parent must have been an undergrad there to get legacy status. If considerable money has been given to any part of the school, you become what’s known as a development candidate, which is far more powerful than being a typical legacy.

The fact is, legacies are accepted at about twice the rate of unhooked applicants. Not as good as a recruited athlete and almost as good as being a URM.
