Being a legacy at rival school hurts chances?

<p>

</p>

<p>And this is where it gets back to - what % of the 30,000 hs in this country even have counselors who would have the time and wherewithal to make these phone calls, and / or what % of school GC’s would even be “meaningful” to the adcom member? Because I have to tell you, if I were an adcom, and someone called me and said, “I’m the GC at Joe Schmoe High School in Unknownville, PA here to talk to you about Sally McApplicant,” how do I know whether that GC is a) who he says he is, b) has anything to say that’s meaningful or that I should listen to?</p>
