<p>Does legacy come into play only if a parent is a graduate of the college, or do graduate schools count as well (law in this case)?</p>
<p>I believe graduate schools count too.</p>
<p>Legacy status is only considered if a parent was an undergraduate. Applicants are not considered as legacies if their parents graduated from a graduate school, such as law school. I personally know this to be a fact.</p>
<p>on the supp Yale asked if any other relatives attended Yale. Since this is obviously not legacy, what importance does this have? eg. My uncle graduated from Yale in 84</p>
<p>The Yale supplement reads, "Did a parent, stepparent, or grandparent attend Yale?"</p>
<p>there's another part that asks if any other other relatives attended</p>
<p>You're absolutely right! I just saw it, under "III Family Information." I don't know what importance it has, but it certainly can't hurt!</p>
<p>Lurker, you're incorrect. I know someone whose father went to Yale graduate school, and she received a letter from the admissions director saying how happy he was that she decided to apply to the Yale "family." I saw the letter; it clearly said that she was considered a legacy and that her application would be given "careful consideration." Graduate school DOES count as legacy.</p>
<p>Well, chalk one up for Yale!</p>
<p>I based my answer on Harvard, which is relevant in my case, and I know they don't count grad school offspring as legacies.</p>
