Generally speaking, at any college, legacy only refers to one’s parents having attended that college…not grandparents, siblings, cousins twice removed, etc. I don’t think you are a legacy with your dad as he didn’t attend NYU when he was in college.

As far as your siblings…while that doesn’t make you a legacy…it is a teeny little “plus” in that when you craft your ‘Why NYU’ statement, you can speak from the perspective of having two sibs at NYU etc. So, mention it, even though it is not legacy status.
