Interesting that this former AO played down the significance of legacy status. My sister graduated from Yale 30 years ago and the consensus among her and her Yale friends is that legacy doesn’t mean much unless it’s attached to significant (as in seven figures) development money. I also know that there were several students from DS 19’s class who applied to Ivies last cycle as legacies, and even double legacies. Measured by GPA and test scores, these students were all “in the ballpark” as far as Ivies go. None of them got in.
