[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]

Whenever Harvard contacts my husband he tells them to get lost given their endowment. I went to a women's college and kids go to smaller colleges and we do donate to these schools because they aren't in the same financial position as H,Y,P. We care about the schools and we figure it will help to strengthen them.[/quote]
