<p>Back to the question of the relationship between Early Decision and legacy admission: I’ve discovered the following posts:</p>

Princeton is one of the last bastions of legacy admission IMO, I’m not surprised by a near 40% acceptance rate.
The acceptance rate is sky high, but the percentage of legacies that make up each class hovers at around 15%, which is similar to most top schools. Weasel8488</p>
<p>“Mahoney said BC is interested in the children of alumni, commonly called “legacy cases.” The admit rate for such applicants is up this year to 55 percent, compared to 31 percent for other applicants, according to a recent article in the Boston College Chronicle.” highopes, July 31</p>
<p>Notre Dame sets aside a quarter of its freshman class for legacy students. It’s an old promise to the alumni of the university, and knowing how ND likes its tradition I doubt that will change much. ducktape , July 31</p>
<p>It seems that legacy admission is a Large Factor, and I’d really like to know what role in plays in Vanderbilt’s admissions. Does anyone have any data?</p>
