<p>Hello,
My great-grandfather graduated form NYU and was a major contributor to NYU building projects, He is on one of the plaques. My grandfather and father graduated as well. how much do you think this will increase my chances of getting accepted to NYU?</p>
<p>It will be a bump. NYU only considers legacy. <a href=“Research with Human Subjects”>Research with Human Subjects;
<p>If your great-grandfather donated money its an even larger boost, although I’m guessing he is no longer alive to help plead your case.</p>
<p>yes he is no longer alive, but his name is engraved on a plaque in the NYU law school lobby. would i have to notify NYU about my legacy, or do the have ways of finding out.</p>
<p>Well state that on your app. It doesn’t hurt you but benefit you. I was wondering if it helps if a family member works in the school helps too?</p>
<p>The Common App asks where specific family members graduated. They will use that info.</p>
