<p>My dad did his post-doc at Stanford, would that count as legacy? I am guessing not, but yeah just wondering.</p>
<p>Sometimes institutions specifically define “legacy;” I’d begin with the undergraduate admissions’ and the alumni association’s websites. </p>
<p>Agreed, schools define legacy differently so you need to check with the particular college. If your dad donates to Stanford as an alum, it couldn’t hurt.</p>
