<p>Is that the current legacy admit rate? I was under the impression that legacy acceptance rates were dropping everywhere (and faster than the drop in overall admissions rates). I, personally, have never seen an unqualified person get into a top school because of the legacy factor. I have, however, seen quite a few perfectly qualified kids turned away from top privates (Duke especially, where my parents went and know several classmates with college-bound kids). So in my experience, at least, the boost isn’t really there.</p>
