<p>Will having a sibling at Cornell influence my admission at all?</p>
<p>I read somewhere that having a sibling there is not considered legacy.</p>
<p>This is correct. Siblings are not considered legacies. Your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., make you a legacy.</p>
<p>I understand that, but will it have any influence at all or no?</p>
<p>No, it will not.</p>
<p>Sibs may not be considered legacy, but they certainly have may have extensive knowledge of the school that can be woven into compelling essays.</p>
