Only if the legacy is from one's third cousin or closer. Fourth cousins are right out.pu_golf88 wrote:You're automatically in no matter what your numbers are.

Re: Legacy?
Sorry, but your original post doesn't allow for a very clear answer. Legacy status is another soft factor, and will undoubtedly help an applicant. However, different schools weigh legacy status differently. Also, one can infer that an applicant with a parent who donates a lot of money to the law school directly/has a building named after him or her/etc. will receive a larger boost than an applicant who had a parent who attended the same university (not the law school) and doesn't donate at all.Kswizzie wrote:any answers that don't poop on me?

Re: Legacy?
While we're talking about it ... double legacy (both parents, Columbia UG and Columbia LS) ... any boost?
