<p>What evidence is there that Harvard gives a significant number of legacy spots EA? I’ve read in this post and elsewhere that its the “athletes, URMs and legacies” that make the EA statistics look better.</p>
<p>I really don’t know if this is true or not, which is why I’m asking on what evidence these types of statements are based? I definitely think its true for the athletes and URMs, but I question if its true for the legacies. </p>
<p>Based on my own experience, most of the legacies that I know of, for Harvard & Yale, were not admitted EA. Instead, they were deferred and admitted (if all) RD.</p>
<p>Thanks for any information.</p>
