Legacies - NOT an automatic admission!

Slightly different twist - DS was accepted and offered a nice merit scholarship and Honors program at an LAC and declined it. The school called him and made a real effort to get him to go there, but he really preferred another school. DD will be applying to colleges next year, and I think this LAC might be a much better fit for her than it was for DS. We have a very unusual last name, and live near this college. I hope no one in admissions remembers that DS turned them down and assumes DD will do the same! Sort of a negative-legacy?
