<p>I live in Australia (Sydney), hold dual US - UK citizenship and have a legacy at Yale. How much advantage does said legacy conferr? - if any. Thanx</p>
<p>Basically, being a legacy is a tip factory. If all other factors are equal, the legacy will be admitted over a non-legacy applicant. However, it will not make up for poor test scores, grades, or lack of ECs.</p>
<p>Is it typical for a school like Yale to select only one student from a given school. All of my friends have perfect scores on the SATI , and I’m sitting on 2200 =(</p>
<p>2200 is very good. Yes, it is common for Yale to accept multiple people from the same school. I know one school around my town that got about 14 people in.</p>
<p>…New Trier…cough cough…</p>
<p>There are many schools with mulitple students admitted, and the students are rarely admitted based on SAT I score alone. If you have something that sets you apart from the other students in some way, you’ll have a better shot.</p>
<p>How many students has yale admitted from your school in the past? That’s your best guide as to the approximate number they’ll take, although it can differ from year to year. If they typically take 1 or 2, they’re not going to suddenly take 14. They may take 1-3, or none in a given year. A lot depends on your school’s size and location.
You will be compared to students from other schools in your area as well, not just your own school, so that also plays a part.</p>
