University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Hello,

I just have one question about “legacy”.
My dad went to Ross School of Business for grad school.
Does this mean I’m a legacy?
Will this boost my chance of getting into U of M?

Yes. From the U Mich web site, FAQ

"How much does parents’ alumni status count?

The University of Michigan values the relationship it has with current and former students. These students and alumni are part of the Michigan community; they provide service and support to the larger University community. As such, application reviewers take into consideration applicants who have a direct relationship, or stepfamily relationship, with someone who has attended the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor as a degree-seeking student."

Sounds like your father got a degree so you are a legacy by this definition. Some schools don’t count grad programs, so I can see where you might be unsure.

Thank you so much :slight_smile:
