FunnyCollege:

Will graduate studies (MS/MBA/) at Cornell by a parent get any brownie points to kids when they apply?

Yes. How much of a bump is a different question with an unknown answer. Legacy will not help a weak application. Even with a strong application, legacies get rejected

As you yourself noted, other universities may (and do) have different definitions.
