alumni importance?

<p>I'm applying regular decision and all 4 of my siblings have attended cornell, the youngest just graduating at the end of this year. Also, my brother teaches ESL at cornell? how much does this matter?? </p>

<p>my average is 97 and i have a 34 on the act with good ec's aside...</p>

<p>It will definitely improve your chances. Could you let me borrow a sibling so I could put him down? lol</p>

<p>Does Cornell count siblings for legacy/alumni status? Because at some schools, it only counts for parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.</p>
