<p>Only first generation parent/stepparent? or further as in grandparent?</p>
<p>Trying to find info for a friend.</p>
<p>This is discussed somewhere at Stanford's Admission site, maybe you can look there and tell us. I think Grandparents are considered only insofar as they attract rapt and solicitous attention from the Development Office.</p>
<p>I tried finding it there, and I searched "legacy" on the admissions page, but it led me to a broken link.</p>

<p>As I recall, the application asks if you have any "relatives" who attended Stanford. They have you put name, relation to you, and maybe what degree they got. The definition of "relative" I think is largely left up to you. But of course, if you put that your fourth cousin attended, it probably won't attract much attention.</p>
