<p>I’m all in favor that you tell this story, recognizing that it’s a funny story. It’s actually very typical of someone like a great grandmother. My dear 93 year old mother has become quite exaggerated with her stories about what a great cook she was, but we all know better. Actually, have fun with this story, enough to convince the adcom that you always imagined that their school was the only one.</p>
<p>Curious, hmom5, why would it be unusual that a great grandparent could be a legacy? My dad went to Princeton. Wouldn’t my kids technically be a legacy, or do you presume that only works with parents not grandparents or great grandparents?</p>
