Do grandparents count towards being a legacy?

<p>I am wondering if grandparents count for legacy status, since my grandpa attended Harvard. I'm really hoping so, since without the legacy status I sincerely doubt that I will be admitted (that won't stop me from trying though!).</p>

<p>Officially, no. The H admissions position is that having parent alums merits a candidate who's on the borderline a second look.</p>
