<p>I'm planning on applying to Boston college and would like to know if legacy is an important factor of admission for this school.</p>
<p>My Grand father worked there as chairman in the business sector i think, my uncle still works there as a teacher, my father graduated there and my grand mother still knows a lot of people at that school (teachers, ect...).</p>
<p>I know this will help me but don't know if it will be an important factor for admission.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>They particularly care if you have a parent who is an alum. If you are in the ballpark otherwise, your admission would be pretty well assured.</p>
<p>Each college is different in how much of a tip factor legacy status will provide. At many highly selective colleges legacy status is only a tie-breaker type tip factor. I don't know how much influence legacy has at Boston College.</p>

<p>Many colleges expect an applicant to apply ED in order to get a legacy advantage.</p>
