<p>Hi so my mom died when I was really little. My dad got remarried and his new wife is in the process of adopting me. When she adopts me, am I still a legacy at my late mom's school? The process of adoption should be done before apps go out although I'm not positive (I'm a junior in HS right now).</p>
<p>Any school would be quite cruel to deny you legacy based on those facts, I would think.</p>
<p>Your mom will always be your mom, so I vote yes you would be a legacy.</p>
<p>You would be a legacy, but legacy doesn’t carry much weight for most schools. It’s usually a tip factor at most.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad, if I apply ED to the school where I’m a legacy it seems to be quite a big boost percentage-wise.</p>
<p>Yes, they would be cruel not to.</p>
