Do siblings = legacy?

<p>Quick question: my brother attends UVA. Will that make me a legacy? Or is legacy status limited to sons/daughters/grandsons etc. ?</p>

<p>I am in the same situation and I am almost positive that it doesn't. From the information I have gathered, it may still help a LITTLE bit.</p>

<p>i don't think it does.</p>

<p>agreed, jlamp~ it doesn't hurt, but you still need to be heavily qualified.</p>

<p>Legacies are the children of alumni. Having siblings, gandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and other relatives with UVa degrees will not make you a legacy.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>Dean J, you may have answered something like this previously, but how much does having a sibling who attends/attended help? My brother will be a sophomore when I apply next year. I don't know if this would change things or not but he has done well/very well academically and is on the baseball team. Hopefully you can help. Thanks.</p>
