<p>My best friend is a plain-out New England WASP. She wishes not to join CC but instead wants to use me as her Abraham.</p>

<p>Both of my best friend’s parents are Harvard alumni (mother of Radcliffe, father of Harvard Law). Her mother’s father is a Yale alumnus, as are his 12 siblings. Her grand-uncle was a trustee of Yale University and was top contender for university presidency (however graced by Timothy Dwight).</p>

<p>Will Yale see view her as a legacy?</p>

<p>Depends how much money her family has given. ;)</p>

3

<p>Yes, she is a legacy by Yale’s definition (grandparents). How much it helps depends on how close the family has remained with the school (spelled ‘money’)</p>

<p>You all are so cute.</p>

<p>The family has remained without the school for one hundred years. There’s a building on campus named after them, but the family took their education enterprises elsewhere.</p>
