<p>I am visiting Penn in August, and I am interested in getting an on-campus interview, which are only granted to legacies. I know Penn considers legacies to be students whose parents or grandparents have graduated from Penn. My dad's step-dad (my 'grandfather') graduated from Penn in the the 50s, and I was wondering, will Penn consider me a legacy? He married my dad's mother when my dad was about two years old and raised him as his son through adulthood, basically becoming his father after his biological father largely abandoned him. He is 100% considered to be my grandpa in my family view, but I am just wondering how the admissions people will view this situation and especially the fact that my grandfather on my dad's side has a different last name than me. Can anyone shed light on how Penn treats cases such as this one? How in depth do they question legacies about their relation to the alumnus/a? Some people must have had personal experiences like this one (or no some one who did) and can help me out.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
