<p>My uncle attended GWU - would that be a close enough relation for legacy status, or would it have to be someone in my immediate family?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Legacy Status</p>
<p>GW values the continued legacy of families enrolled at GW. As such we pay particular attention to students who have siblings or parents who have attended GW as undergraduates or parents who are employed at the university.</p>
<p>So, no.</p>
<p>It can’t hurt. Put him as an influence in the section the common app allows for reasons your interested in GW</p>
