<p>Can a cousin going to one college be called legacy?</p>
<p>It depends on the college. You could phone and ask.</p>
<p>No. At most schools it's just parents. Some less selective schools inlclude grandparents and siblings. Some schools give you legacy status if parents were undergrads only and some include you if your parents went to their grad schools. Never heard of a cousin making you a legacy.</p>
<p>My boyfriend insists that I add that if your family are major donors, you're a legacy (or whatever you want to be) if you have a third cousin twice removed that attended.</p>
