<p>My dad did his residency at a hospital associated with Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine. So, does this count as a legacy?</p>
<p>I highly doubt it. Legacies only count those who went to a specific college for their undergraduate program. Even if your dad went to Feinberg, that wouldn’t count.</p>
<p>Why don’t you call or email Northwestern’s admissions office? Don’t you think you would get a more accurate answer from them than random people on this board?</p>

<p>As a general proposition, this is incorrect. Some colleges don’t consider legacy at all. Others give you consideration as a legacy only if your parent or grandparent got an undergraduate degree there. Others may say it’s only if your parent or grandparent is a graduate of the particular school within the university that you’re applying to. Others will count any degree, graduate or undergraduate; but of those that do, some may weigh an undergrad degree more heavily, while others may count all equally. Some don’t even require a degree, but instead ask whether a parent or grandparent attended. A few may cast the net wider in terms of which relatives might make you a legacy. It’s all up to the particular school, and they choose to do things their own way. Cortana431 is right: call the admissions office or search the school’s admissions website.</p>
<p>Well, I know if he had gone to Feinberg for med school it would count for sure because there’s a box for graduate school when they ask about legacies, and Feinberg fits the category.</p>
