BKSquared:

U Penn explicitly publicizes that legacy will be considered only if you apply ED.

https://www.alumni.upenn.edu/s/1587/gid2/16/interior.aspx?sid=1587&gid=2&pgid=20995 says that “Legacies who apply to Penn during Early Decision receive thorough consideration in the application process” but does not say that legacy status is not considered for RD applicants.

First-Year Admission | Penn Admissions says that “We appreciate that attending Penn is a tradition for many families, so an applicant’s affiliation with Penn, either by being a child or grandchild of alumni, is given the most consideration through Early Decision.” This also does not say that legacy status is not considered for RD applicants.
