Chance a nervous junior from a tiny Bay Area city for some crazy reaches + tell me how to improve!

I agree that most colleges do not consider parents’ grad school for legacy purposes, but policies do vary somewhat - for example, UVa considers the child of any UVa degree holder to be a legacy applicant (though this status is only given meaningful weight for OOS applicants). So it’s worth checking on each specific school where legacy might apply, just to make sure.
