<p>My family has a big legacy at Boston College, both my parents went there and my dad's 8 brothers and sisters went there as well as some of my cousins.
My parents also donate money (not a lot) to BC every year and there is a small scholarship for students under my grandfather's name that my family set up.
Will all this help me at all if I were to apply to BC? Will it give me a small advantage against other students?</p>
<p>Ask on the BC forum. People there are more likely to be in the know about how BC considers legacy.</p>
<p>From what I have heard, BC is HUGE on legacy students -- like there are kids at my school who would have never, ever gotten in but have some money and their parents went there and voila, they got in.</p>
