<p>My grandfather taught at a small LAC school for about 30 years. Does this factor into “legacy” decisions, and if so how much?</p>
<p>I don’t know too much, but it seems like he was pretty important, he has a scholarship in his field named after him (small field though).</p>
<p>Well, yes and no. I think the term “legacy” specifically refers to having a parent being an alum of the school. However, you could surely state this in your application if there’s a section for it (I definitely saw something like this in a UMich application.) </p>
<p>What LAC are we talking about?</p>
<p>You could mention it. If you are really curious, ask the college. I’m sure it could count though</p>
