[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you were otherwise a nobody but your last name was Harvard, Penn, or Jefferson and you were a descendant of that John Harvard, William Penn or Thomas Jefferson. Do you acknowledge in your application? Do you assume they know? If you don't say something and they do know, is that weird?[/quote] Interesting question. But with 250-400 years separating you from the founder I'm not sure how much credit it buys you. [/quote] PP: also, you can't prove it so how do they know if you're lying. They can verify legacy status through enrollment data and will check it out. But if you stated on your application you're a descendant of John Harvard, there's nothing to back it up. [/quote] Unless they have documentation in the form of letters and land deeds, etc.[/quote]
