Legacy preferences

Between 2014 and 2019, Harvard University accepted legacy students at a rate of 33%—more than five times the percentage of Harvard University's 6% overall acceptance rate in the same period.[1][2]

Legacy preference or legacy admission is a preference given by an institution or organization to certain applicants on the basis of their familial relationship to alumni of that institution.[3] It is most controversial in college admissions,[4] where students so admitted are referred to as legacies or legacy students. This form of nepotism is particularly widespread in the college admissions in the United States; almost three-quarters of research universities and nearly all liberal arts colleges grant legacy preferences in admissions.[5]

Schools vary in how broadly they extend legacy preferences, with some schools granting this favor only to children of undergraduate alumni, while other schools extend the favor to extended family, including: children, grandchildren, siblings, nephews, and nieces of alumni of undergraduate and graduate programs.[6] A 2005 analysis of 180,000 student records obtained from nineteen selective colleges and universities found that, within a set range of SAT scores, being a legacy raised an applicant's chances of admission by 19.7 percentage points.[7]

Legacy preferences are controversial, as the legacy students tend to be less qualified and less racially diverse than non-legacy students.[8] However, legacy students are economically beneficial to universities, as they are perceived to be more likely to donate to their university after graduation and have parents who are perceived to be more generous donors.[8] Legacy preferences are particularly prevalent at Ivy League universities and other selective private universities in the United States.[9]
