No or on the admittance forms does it say where did your parents go to school. If they take that factor out they won't know if the student is a legacy.
As an aside, I dislike the term "legacy student." What kind of legacy did these parents ever have for the school? Did they actually contribute anything to the school when they went there? The term "legacy" is misused.

The end of legacy as a factor means the end of substantial contributions from some of the alumni. So someone is going to have to pay more, raise tuition, or look to enroll more full pay students and fewer tuition reduction applicants, who are qualified, except in the tuition payment department. Colleges and universities are business institutions and will have to do more with less or trim the acceptance of financially weak students. There are reality tradeoffs for everything. Also, it has become much more difficult to evaluate young people applying to college with grade inflation in high schools, diminished testing, and more pressure to meet the college budget.
