Legacy admissions, also known as legacy preferences or alumni connections, refers to a boost in a prospective student’s odds of admission to a college just because the applicant is related to an alumnus, usually a parent or grandparent.

Some of the schools ranked highest among National Universities by U.S. News that do not practice legacy admissions include:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Johns Hopkins University in Maryland
The California Institute of Technology
Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania
The University of California, Santa Barbara

“Around half of institutions may consider it to some degree,” Hawkins says, referencing a 2019 report by NACAC based on survey responses from more than 2,300 colleges and universities. “And the vast majority of those institutions don’t give it a high degree of importance, but rate it as sort of a medium to low importance in their decision-making process.”
