I know the definition of Legacy I already stated that–you guys did not read the question very well. I simply asked yo WHY they ask if you had any relatives that attend on the applications for Yale, Columbia, Harvard etc. in the space right after they ask about legacy–they ask for their name and relationship. It only asks for immediate close relationships-not great grandparents wise ass.

And FYI, Cornell counts you as a legacy IF YOUR GRANDPARENT attended one of their colleges. In my case I have my dad, gran-dad, great grandad–no I did not attend but they say its legacy on their application from what I have read. I don’t really care anyway just thought someone from admissions might have an answer–not the choir boys.
