<p>I have a quick question regarding legacy. Is it parent's graduate school( like Stanford) or parent's undergraduate school?</p>
<p>Undergraduate school for official purposes(i.e. you can only get an on campus interview if a parent attended CC/SEAS/GS), but they will take into family connections into consideration if your parent went to Columbia for grad school.</p>
<p>Cool, thanks.</p>
<p>This question has been asked several times.</p>
<p>Legacy status for admission to CC or SEAS does not include GS. If a parent went to CC or SEAS than you are considered a legacy candidatet for either CC or SEAS. GS may have their own legacy policy but it does not apply to CC or SEAS.</p>
<p>From the CC/SEAS admission web site:</p>
<p>"We are always pleased to receive applications from students whose family members have graduated from Columbia. When an applicant is extremely competitive and compares favorably with other similarly talented candidates, being the daughter or son of a Columbia University graduate (from any Columbia school or college) may be a slight advantage in the admission process. This advantage may especially apply for “legacy” candidates.</p>
<p>Please note: applicants are considered to be “legacies” of Columbia only if they are the children of Columbia College or the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science graduates."</p>
