Correct. It depends upon the school itself-not just on the category of the school. Some schools, like MIT make it clear that Legacy status is not factored into admissions decisions. Some of the Ivy League schools downplay the importance of legacy while those who have researched the issue find that legacy has a marked impact for the Ivy’s that downplay their importance. Few schools are transparent about these issues.
