“We have a well-established program to encourage students of our graduates to apply to Penn
and have had this program in place for years,” [Admissions Dean Lee] Stetson said. “Basically we say
we will give a measure of preference to students with an alumni affiliation who apply during the early
decision program.”
“I would find it difficult to believe we would change the
admissions program drastically to eliminate a program that has worked so well for us over the years,”
Stetson said. [From the Daily Pennsylvanian, “Texas A&M Abandons Legacy Admissions,” Brooke Daley
