Puh-leeze. My sister and her dh are legacy at the top privates in NYC and my dc (their nephew) goes to one of those schools and they did not get in. Dc didn't score well and did badly on playdate [ Reply | More ]

Sorry to hijak posts but when talking about legacy, would a cousin attending the school you want to go to carry any weight at all? I know it's not a sibling, but does it matter? [ Reply | More ]

No what mattered was that her dh was a legacy there and she a legacy at another top school, that a cousin went there was just icing on the cake it was the legacy connection that made it significant [ Reply | More ]
