Legacy Status for grad admissions?

<p>I know for some schools legacy status is a factor for undergrad admissions, but how about graduate admissions? Surely they're not asking "Did your parents or siblings attend XX?" for nothing...?</p>

<p>Does not matter at all. If George W Bush had applied to Yale as a grad student, they would have used his application to line rat cages in the bio labs.</p>

<p>similar question, if you go to grad school at say yale, but went somewhere else for undergrad, can your kid have a legacy advantage for undergrad?</p>

<p>It depends. Some universities count graduate school attendance for legacy admissions and others don’t.</p>

<p>I have not filled out a grad application that asked if there was any alumni connection. They don’t care.</p>

<p>As far undergrad legacy status, if you give enough money, anything is possible.</p>

<p>Interesting, well I am. It’s a private school FYI. My next question would be, do they verify it? And how? (parents linked to your social security number?..)</p>

<p>I would think so, after all the question simply asks “Did your parents attend ___?” Does not specify for grad or undergrad. But again it would all depend on whether they check.</p>
