<p>My brother went to Columbia undergrad - is that considered a legacy for me?</p>

Please note: applicants are considered to be “legacies” of Columbia only if they are the children of Columbia College or the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science graduates.

<p>ya i read that, but on the application it asks to list where your siblings went to college - maybe still a plus?</p>
<p>It's a plus.</p>

<p>Just because your brother went doesn't mean it will improve your application that much. Just focus on the more important things of your application...</p>
<p>ya i know...i think anyone who's relying on a legacy for admission is foolish. I just wanted to know if it would be a little plus in my application or if it's completely irrelevant</p>
