Are some legacies too lame to put down?

<p>It’s up to you.</p>

<p>It can’t hurt, but I have no clue whether it will be of any help. </p>

<p>In my opinion, the legacies that are most striking are ones that are linear. For example, if you were to draw a family tree for yourself, your mother, father, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. would all be considered linear, i.e, first degree relation. Your siblings are also considered linear. If you have a legacy who’s linearly related to you, DO PUT IT DOWN FOR SURE!!</p>

<p>However, Aunts, Uncles, etc. are all located either North-East or North-West to you in your family tree, and thus are not linear. </p>

<p>As I said, you could definitely put it down on your application but I’m not sure whether it would count for much.</p>

<p>Just my two cents!</p>
