<p>My father is a doctor, he did most of his residency at UCLA hospital, so does that count as legacy to UCLA? Does UCLA even give points for legacy? Is this a question I should be asking the school itself?thank you.</p>

Evaluation of Admissions Factors</p>
<p>At UCLA, the comprehensive admissions review consists of three separate evaluations for each applicant: an academic review, an assessment of personal achievements, and a determination of life challenges.

<p>From reading this, it does not appear that Legacy is a factor they consider.</p>
<p>On the contrary, since one of the factors is "Life Challenges". a Legacy status might be considered a negative or at least neutral, rather than a plus.</p>
