<p>Neither of my parents went to Notre Dame, but I have at least eight people in my extended family that attended. Can I put this in my online app and if so, where should I put this info? Will it help my chance of acceptance? Thanks!</p>
<p>umm i believe that i read that there is a portion at the bottom.......unfortunately i have also read on this forum that extended family doesnt count....i guess you could look for where that was said.....or that person might say it again</p>

<p>I don't think it would hurt you at all to put that in the section at the end - the added information section. If you don't put it in, you'll probably wish you did.</p>
<p>Only parents (mother or father) count for legacy status. These students are placed in a seperate applicant pool. Although I suppose it wouldnt hurt to include it on your application.</p>
<p>Gotcha, thanks.</p>
