<p>hi jamimom,
well I guess I shouldn’t assume that these questions necessarily indicate that an applicant is put into the legacy pool or not but there are two separate places on the application that ask about relatives who have attended Yale. One place requests names of a parent or grandparent who attended and then later there is another question about any relatives other than parent or grandparent who attended. They also ask for the name and graduating class of each relative.
Thanks for the good wishes :)</p>
