<p>A very brief and simple question: My dad spent a year at college X, and transferred to college Y. Am I still "legacy" for college X?</p>
<p>No you are not.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the answer!</p>
<p>It depends. You need to read the school’s supplement to see how they ask the question. When it comes to legacy, not all schools are the same, some consider extended family, some only consider parents (what about step parents?), some only consider UG and some would consider graduate schools…and it goes on.</p>
<p>It does depend, actually. If College X is Harvard, you’re a legacy.</p>
<p>Really.</p>
<p>You may have to see the exact wording of the question, such as whether the college asks if the relative “attended” or “graduated from” the college (also, which relatives qualify and which degree programs the relatives attended or graduated from can differ).</p>
