<p>Does having a cousin and uncle who went to Dartmouth count as legavy?</p>
<p>My uncle also donates money annually to the school, and I'm not sure how much, but does "a little" even help? By "a little," I mean several thousand.</p>
<p>Sorry, you uncle and cousins having attended dartmouth does not make you a legacy for admissions purposes.</p>
<p>For your Uncle's contibution to "mean anything" it would probably have to be in the form of an endowed chair, a building or somthing in the 7 figues where he would have enough clout to get his kid through as a developmental admit</p>
