<p>YaleDad, I got an interview with an admin officer because i’m from new haven and so it was easier to get one there. also, there isn’t a local alum council in my boarding school area. it went alright, i don’t feel that it really affected my admissions decision.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve heard that legacies actually have higher scores and GPAs than non-legacies. Ah-hah. From this Yale Daily News article:</p>
<p><i>Yale President Richard Levin also said legacies may have an advantage in the application process. But he noted that the average grades and test scores of admitted legacies are higher than the average grades and test scores of the rest of the class. And once they get to Yale, Levin said, legacies also tend to get higher grades than non-legacy students with comparable high school GPAs and test scores.</i></p>
<p>The article is interesting, here:</p>
