I’ve got the good fortune of having some nice legacy at a few places, but was curious as to how legacy is taken into account, either as a formal or latent variable. That is to say, if a lot of my legacy is not from people like like parents, or folks who are deceased or otherwise out of touch with their school, will most places have a form or box to mention such legacy or when factoring in legacy is the understanding that people who get in with legacy get strings pulled by people tied to the school.
