Are you a legacy only if your immediate family member has graduated from the undergrad school? If my brother is currently attending the college I’m applying to, am I not a legacy?
<p>It depends on the college. All colleges consider you a legacy based on your parents. Some will give legacy status based on a grandparent, or a sibling. In addition, some colleges distinguish between people who have graduated versus people who have only attended. Contact the school to check.</p>
<p>I know a lot of colleges hate to split up siblings, so that would probably work in your favor.</p>
<p>If your brother is currently attending he is not a legacy because he hasn't graduated. You just have a sibling attending the same school. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it does not because you will be evaluated as an individual.</p>
<p>No, you're not a legacy.</p>
<p>Oh well. Does a family get more aid if two kids go to the same school?</p>
<p>Sometimes if you have a sibling who already attends the school you are going to attend you can recieve more aid or a scholarship. I believe at Ithaca College you get 1,000 dollars if you have a sibling who already attends.</p>
