<p>Hello, my granfather went to Darmouth, and according to the dean of admissions at Dartmouth, i am not a legacy (only if your parent went there it "counts"). But i was wondering if you guys think this connection to the school can still benefit me somehow? mention it in an essay? or somewhere on the app? i am a rising junior.
thanks</p>
<p>I don’t think it will help at all. A casual mention in an essay would probably be ok, but don’t expect anything from it.</p>
<p>It’s of no help to you</p>
<p>If the Dean of Admissions says it won’t help I can’t see how some random people like us are going to be in a position to say any different.</p>
