<p>Great-grandma’s school was a nursing school, so I’m willing to bet they didn’t even have a school color. As it stands now, the clothing is the only questionable part of my essay. While I did receive a notably large amount of gray-colored clothing for birthdays, that’s because I look good in gray–not in celebration of the school (as was implied).</p>
<p>And yeah, a great-grandparent counts at this school. In a joking manner, I recognized in the essay that calling Great-grandma a legacy is a bit of a reach, but defended my listing her as one by noting her great fondness for her alma mater. Unfortunately, I didn’t apply to her alma mater…</p>
