Legacy?

<p>Does it count in any way as a legacy application if it is a grandparent who went to the school? My father and two of my uncles went to Dartmouth, and now my son is interested. One of the great-uncles still lives in Hanover...</p>

<p>The definition of legacy varies from school to school.</p>

<p>The uncles will almost definitely not count; your son’s grandfather may make him a legacy depending on Dartmouth’s policy. Call and ask.</p>

<p>Thanks! If anyone knows anything specifically about Dartmouth, sing out!</p>

<p>Unfortunately a grandfather does not make you a legacy at Dartmouth. There was a high stats grandson of a donor Dartmouth grandad this year who did not get in. Search posts by Sherlock.</p>

<p>Almost always grandparents count. Almost always uncles do not count, let alone great-uncles. But like the above poster suggested, Dartmouth could be weird.</p>

<p>I would not say most include grandparent’s. From the Dartmouth web site:</p>
