I am applying to Stanford EA and I want to know if my family relations affect my admission consideration? Neither of my parents attended Stanford, but my aunt, uncle and three of their kids all got undergraduate or graduate degrees there. Would this positively impact consideration of me, or would it count against me (i.e. they’ve taken the legacy train as far as it will go)?
When it comes to Stanford, one needs to be the sort who can look for this info.
Per their web, legacy: “if at least one parent or stepparent received an undergraduate and/or graduate degree from Stanford.”
