<p>I am wondering if legacies are only direct family members as in (Father,Mother,Grandfather,Grandmother) or if Aunts and uncles are included. My Uncle graduated from Dartmouth magna cum laude and from Tuck (the business school) where he graduated as an Edward Tuck scholar. He has donated to the college every year since he graduated. He is a direct uncle (father's brother) and has the same last name as me.</p>
<p>If this is considered a legacy, how much will this improve my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>I don’t really have concrete answers to this, but from what I’ve been told, only parents and siblings are considered legacy… not grandparents… which I’m assuming would also exclude aunts/uncles.</p>
<p>But I really am not 100% sure. It definitely won’t hurt your chances of getting in.</p>
<p>I did not think it would count. However, i as inclined to do so after a Representative of the school came to my high school to speak and said that the supplement asks for any family members and this includes Aunts, Uncles, and Siblings.</p>
