<p>Does having an uncle, or cousin classify a student to be a legacy candidate?</p>
<p>If the relative helps out the university, would that help?</p>
<p>no, my uncle is a professor at Yale, and all my cousins are either at Yale or Stanford, but none of them will help me get into any college, since they are not actually part of my family, and far as the second question goes, if your relative helped build a school or something it might or donate some money for your admission, alot of money.</p>
<p>Hey Georgetown, how come your Uncle switched from being a professor at Berkeley to being a professor at Yale?</p>
<p>pwned lmao</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing, because on Macalester's application it asks for names of relatives that attended, not just family members, and my cousin went there so I was curious if that would help at all or not.</p>
<p>My grandfather went to Cornell. Would that count? My father just went to a community college.</p>
<p>I think that some colleges accept grandparents as legacies.</p>
<p>I have uncles and cousins that went to some of the colleges that I am planning to apply to, so I wanted to know if they would count.</p>
<p>It depends on the college. Usually you can tell based on their applications - some ask if any relatives have attended, some specify immediate family.</p>
<p>You could probably email or call the admissions offices of whatever schools you're looking at and ask them. Or if you're doing any interviews you could ask then.</p>
<p>i have more than one uncle, and they are both professors at diferent school, just because i didn't mention my uncle teaching at one of my other posts doesn't mean he works at both, the reason why i didn't mention about the uncle working at yale on the other post is because i am not applying to Yale</p>
