importance of alumni rec

<p>hi i was wondering how much an alumni recis worth, im a legact studet (mom went there undergrad and grad) and my godmother who also went there wrote me a rec, I am applying for the east azn language major (im white)and she did that major also when she went to columbia(my godmother) do u think the fact she did the major I did and has real life expereince in it can help. She’s known me since i was 4 monthsold/</p>

<p>All the Ivies are a little gun shy about legacies right now because of the vocal criticism they’ve been getting about the issue, so they will look at you hard…then consider your legacies…at least it merits you a serious read and that in itself is a good thing. Build a building and call it a day.</p>
