Legacy at Harvard? How do you inform them?

<p>I was looking at the Harvard supplement, and I noticed that there's no place to inform them of relatives who went to Harvard. On most of my other CommonApp schools, there are, so I was confused....where should you put this information? Or do they not require it? Thanks :)</p>

<p>Doesn’t one put this on the Common Application?</p>

<p>No- you obviously put your parents’ schools, but oftentimes, applicants have non-parent relatives who attended (like me- Both of my aunts attended)</p>

<p>Do only nuclear family legacies yield a benefit?</p>

<p>Harvard defines legacy as having had a parent who graduated from Harvard undergrad.</p>

<p>Not sure. I guess it only matters if your parents went there…? That sucks, since several of my aunts and uncles went there, but my parents went to MIT/Cornell/Rice, none of which I want to apply to :(</p>

<p>Thanks, Northstarmom.</p>
