<p>One of my parents attended Cornell for his fellowship, i was just wondering if this counts as legacy and if i could put this as a parent or guardian that attended cornell Thanks.</p>

<p>Not really; in order for legacy to be a true hook, it has to be one (or both) of your parents, and they have to have been undergraduates.</p>
<p>Not true, IV. A legacy would be any degreed graduate, whether it was undergraduate or graduate school.</p>
<p>business: define “fellowship”–did they do a significant amount of time on campus?</p>
<p>By fellowship i mean, he completed a 2 year fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. I was wondering if this type of fellowship was considered a legacy?</p>
<p>business: I think you have to be a fully matriculated student, whether at the undergrad or grad level to be considered an alumnus.</p>
<p>I don’t remember how you list legacy on the application, but you may want to explain on the line about the fellowship. The admin can then make the decision if you’re a legacy.</p>
<p>bump. definite answer anyone? and if it’s not considered legacy is it still worth mentioning on my app? thanks.</p>
<p>on the common app supplement, they ask you if you have a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent who went to Cornell. Then, they ask for the graduation year and degree.</p>

No. You are not a legacy.</p>
<p>@cornellpezra:</p>
<p>He may be a legacy, but he will not get the “legacy advantage” in the admissions process like sons and daughters of Cornell undergraduate alumni do.</p>
<p>@IV: Absolutely not true. And not all legacies have an advantage, whether undergrad or grad.</p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure what part of my claim you are denying cornellpezra… but w/e, I don’t care anymore at this point.</p>
