<p>I was wondering whether obtaining a graduate degree at a college that my son is interested in will help give him a leg up. The schools which this is specific to are Columbia University and NYU Stern. Thanks</p>
<p>Maybe if you’ve been a financial supporter of the school since then, but otherwise I really don’t know. Most of us donate to our alma mater but not to our graduate institution. :-/</p>
<p>No, it will not help at all. Nor should it.</p>
<p>There are no such things as “legacy” admits to grad programs. It’s all on merit.</p>
