<p>If one of my parents is a full professor at Yale and the other works in a branch of Yale (not as a prof.), could this help me at all and if so by how much? I'm pretty sure someone posted something like this already but this isn't about me being a legacy -- neither of my parents went to Yale. Thanks</p>
<p>my friends dad was offered a research job at yale, and part of this job offer included full paid tutition for his children to yale. ... my friend has like a 2.5 gpa....</p>
<p>So i would say that in theory its helpful, but it dont think it gurantees anything or even gurantees an increased chance at acceptance, unless someone on the comitee is going to know your so and so's child.</p>
<p>I think that absolutely gives you a huge advantage, as long as you have the stats to back it up.</p>

<p>More often than not, the advantage is in the form of being measured on lower standards; in some universities, I will not name them, the adjusted standards are farcically low.</p>
