What about your husband/wife? I thought that counted as a "soft" of some sort?bernaldiaz wrote:Probably depends on the school. At my UG (ND), legacy is defined as only your father or mother graduating from the university.
There was a poster last cycle that tried to use the fact that her fiancé got into her dream school as a LOCI but she didn't get any success out of it.lrslayer wrote:I think its a soft in the sense that you have an established interest, same thing would be accomplished by writing a compelling Why X statement.
So I actually interviewed an admissions officer freshman year for a composition class research project, and I was surprised to learn that it is just parents (not aunts, uncles, siblings). They said that they used to count grandparents but then the pool for which "legacy" could be applied to became too large.vulpixie wrote:What about your husband/wife?
