[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or do colleges consider a kid a legacy only if the parents were undergraduates? My DH and I both have graduate degrees from the same Ivy. [/quote]

Depends on the school I think.  I went to grad school at UVA and apparently my daughter would count as a legacy.  I've heard from other places that grad school doesn't count.  I'd contact the institution directly and/or start donating money now ;)[/quote]

Why do people donate money to their colleges?  Serious question. I just got an email from my school saying it has a billion dollar campaign (if memory serves). My kids probably would never get in anyway. And the $500 a year I could swing I'd prefer to give to a charity I hold in higher value. Does giving at this level have any impact at all?  They really don't need the money. The ridiculous student centers etc i think are an embaressment. I am open to criticism. [/quote]

I give money to my grad program because I got a TA and an RA to go there; basically a free education and enough cash to enjoy myself for a few years. I got an excellent education and I've done quite well professionally because of this. I'm still appreciative of this, and throw some cash their way occasionally.[/quote]
