<p>Do grandfathers count as legacy?</p>
<p>Yes, but not as much.
Also, UC-Berkeley isn't as big into legacies as HYPSM.</p>
<p>UC doesn't consider legacy at all. That would be too elitist.</p>
<p>haha, ok. My grandfather was the only one that attended college in the US so I was just wondering if that would count in my favor but I guess it doesnt so it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>No, it doesn't help you. In fact, for modern admissions, I'd be better to be first generation college student at pretty much all places. The exception is HYP, but even that will soon change and the poor people will take over.</p>
