What counts as a legacy?

From my understanding, Legacy status is granted if a parent or grandparent completed an undergraduate degree at Penn. I don’t think it has to be the same one (my dad was a Wharton student and I’m in CAS).

Also, legacy really only factors in if you apply early decision from my understanding. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, though.
