[quote=Anonymous]Neither my DH nor I went to a college that recognizes legacy, so I didn't even know about the concept until about a year ago, when my first DC started high school. I recall that a few years ago, I was at lunch with two friends and an acquaintance, and the acquaintance was discussing how her father went to Yale, but she didn't get to go to Yale because they only give one child a spot and her older sister got the Yale spot. At the time I didn't know what she was talking about. But obviously now I know to what she was referring to. 1) Is that how legacy works? That only one child is given legacy consideration? 2) and on a related point, I'm under the impression that for college admissions, legacy is only for children of undergrad alumni, so say, if you went to grad/law/medical school at X University but not undergrad, it doesn't count. Is that right or do schools differ on this?[/quote]
