<p>OK... THIS IS KINDA OF IDIOTIC.... BUT I REALLY DONT KNOW...</p>
<p>iF YOUR GRANDMOTHE GRADUATED FROM LETS SAY tHE UNIVERSITY OF OCEAN..... DOES THAT MAKE THE GRANDSON A LEGACY?</p>
<p>OR IS IT ONLY SONS AND DAUGHTERS THAT ARE LEGACIES???</p>
<p>Depends on the legacy policy at that school.</p>
<p>Also, please turn off Caps Lock.</p>
<p>I found that colleges were specific in their requests. I would certainly list ANYONE in family who are alumni unless specificaly asked not to. (Unfortunately, none of my family were big contributors)</p>
<p>sorry bout the caps.... thanks for the advice...</p>
<p>On my S's college app. it only asked if either parent was an alumni and yu checked off the appropriate box. There was no space to list other family members.</p>
<p>My daughter recently completed an application that asked the applicant to list parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents who had attended the university. The format was such that it was possible to list those who had obtained graduate degrees as well as those who obtained bachelor's degrees, and to list those who had attended but not graduated. Siblings, cousins, etc. were not mentioned.</p>
<p>My son mentioned his grandfather in his "Why College X" essay. He did get into that school, though probably not for that reason - and opted not to attend.</p>
<p>Some schools ask re "any relative." My step-grandS listed his grandfather (my H) and his uncle and I forget who else. It was his instate flagship, tier 2, but still doesn't accept everyone. So who knows if it helped.</p>
<p>Anyway, just shows to go it varies by school as all above have said.</p>
