<p>is it just parent, grandparent, or sibling? i have a great-uncle who went to harvard for undergrad and business.. will it count at all (i'm applying next year)?</p>
<p>Yes, my understanding is that it is parent, grandparent, and sibling. No, your great-uncle will not count.</p>
<p>It depends on the college. Many colleges consider legacy to be only parents who have gotten their undergraduate degree there -- even graduate degrees don't count. But colleges ask about all relatives, so put down everyone including the great-uncle. It can't hurt.</p>
