"Fitzsimmons also said that Harvard's undergraduate population is comprised of approximately 12 to 13 percent legacies, a group he defined as children of Harvard College alumni and Radcliffe College alumnae."
“To be a legacy, a student must have a parent or step-parent who attended Old Nassau. Undergraduate and graduate alumni ties hold the same weight. While admissions staff are aware of applicants who have siblings at Princeton, they don’t receive preferential treatment and need to be competitive in their own right.
Yet as Dan Lee said, “not all legacies are created equal.” He explained that top universities — including Princeton — rank their legacy applicants. The children whose parent contributed more time or money to their alma mater are prioritized over those who gave less. ”
"At Stanford, “legacy” applicants are defined as the children of Stanford graduates at either the undergraduate or graduate level. With respect to philanthropy, Stanford does not document in admission files the donor status of all applicants' families. However, some applicants' files may contain a notation about their family’s giving. In the large majority of these cases, the parents of the applicants are also graduates of Stanford. Philanthropy plays a significant role in supporting the opportunities available to all students at Stanford, including the ability to attend the university through our program of need-based financial aid."

"legacies — students with one or both parents who attended Yale College, graduate or professional schools — have a “hook” in the admissions game."

MIT: 没有Legacy
"Just To Be Clear: We Don't Do Legacy"
https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/just-to-be-clear-we-dont-do-legacy/
咱家真有T5的legacy。娃申请的时候，还收到学校招生办的信。大意就是谢谢校友娃申请，学校会认真考虑。信里还列出了legacy的录取率，20%左右。的确比普通申请的录取率高很多。可惜咱娃太差，当时申请纯属赞助，学校也就勉为其难，给发封安慰函。
凡尔赛完毕。
统计说校友子女录取率高
观察说校友子女比非校友子女牛值低
尤其是P，没有医法商。
录取的校友子女的成绩不比正常录取的学生差，但没有比较EC。
我知道的几个靠legacy进去的成绩不差，但EC明显偏弱。
今年这情况，各个藤校都没法像平常一样按部就班的招生了。熊娃在一小众EC项目做到顶尖的成绩，往年也许哪个藤校眼一花就可能有兴趣，今年彻底没戏。
比较起不捐款的校友孩子，搞不好学校更想入取非校友子女。
看看早申录取了的学生里各类别的比例就知道了。
有限统计，有来客稀，女生AIME男生USAMO都能进H
女生倒是都进了M
参加过两个家长见面会，华裔孩子都是靠自己本事录取, 老美孩子一半以上是legacy或者double legacy。
