<p>My cousin attends Johns Hopkins University right now. I was wondering how much that would benefit me if I were to apply there.</p>
<p>(If a cousin attends that school, that is considered a legacy, right? What about older siblings or father who attended different colleges? Are these all considered legacy?)</p>
<p>Cousin isn’t a legacy…fathers, mothers, and grandparents are though.</p>
<p>Grandparents only at some colleges At many it’s just a parent who was an undergrad. A sibling is a tip factor (not as strong as legacy) at some schools if they are sill there when you will be.</p>
<p>A true legacy more than doubles chances at most colleges.</p>
