<p>Son is a Jr. When he completes his common app must he list the college that my husband and I attended? It is an Ivy, which he is not interested in attending. So, he is a double legacy, and we are told by others that the schools that he IS interested in attending may weigh this against him, assuming that he will want to attend there. Or, will the issue be resolved when they don't see that school as one he is applying to? Any help appreciated!</p>
<p>I’m sure colleges realize that children may not necessarily want to go to the exact same schools their parents did.</p>
<p>I think the “others” who inform you that it’ll hurt his chances know nothing of what they speak.</p>
