<p>My great Grandfather went to MIT. Would this help me get into the school? I'm not sure if they consider relations at all, and the relation is a little distant!</p>
<p>Legacies at Ivies or MIT only apply to children, or brothers and sisters--not grandparents or great grandparents.</p>
<p>Too distant. Now, if every ancestor of yours up to your Great Grandfather got into MIT, that would be a different story.</p>
