If your kid is applying to your alma mater, did they mention anything about that in the "why do you want to go here" supplement? One of the honest reasons my kid is applying to my alma mater is that I had a great experience there, my best friends are from college, and to this day we all speak fondly of our experience. But is that too much for a kid to say "one reason I want to go is my parent(s) went there and loved it?" Any legacy boost my kid gets will be fairly minimal; we are not big donors or anything, and they will know she is a legacy from other parts of the application. Just don't know if it should also be mentioned in the essay. Thanks in advance!
