<p>so my dad and uncle went to stanford, and that is currently on my app. but next summer my dad is getting married to another stanford graduate. can i count her as another relative who went to stanford if at the time i apply we are not technically related (but by the time i attend we will be?) does the number of relatives who attended even matter past having one??</p>
<p>I think so.That's a really good chance.Really easy to get in.</p>
<p>I believe you can! On Stanford's CommonApp supplement, there's a box that says "Mother or stepmother has a Stanford undergrad/grad degree."</p>
<p>Hopefully that helps!</p>
<p>so even though legally she isn't my stepmom yet, it is still okay? of course i want to do anything that will help get me in that isn't illegal :)</p>
<p>I'd say that the safest thing to do would just be to send an e-mail to admissions and explain the situation. That way, you'll know for sure rather than worry about it!</p>
<p>But they won't reply for sure.
They are too busy...
I like the Yale adm com.Always give me the first time reply during busy period.
But they often talk to me like talking to a little kid.</p>
<p>What exactly constitutes being a "legacy"? How about an older brother attending Stanford at the same time?</p>
<p>Parents and grandparents. You're not a legacy, moogie.</p>
<p>Does being a legacy give you any kind of a boost in admissions if your parents aren't big donors?</p>
<p>to moogie: when you enter your stanford affiliations into the supplement, there is a drop down list of relations. sibling is one of the choices so you will be able to put that down, but there is no guarantee they give it any weight. </p>
<p>bcnmom- i'm no expert but i think it does, just not as much as if your parents were donors?</p>
