<p>IF my cousin is going to a college that i am applying to, will i have a greater chance of getting in or would it not really matter. That college will be a reach to me, so would my cousin going there give me a better chance. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>im pretty sure having a cousin wont help</p>
<p>It would not help.</p>
<p>the factor of having an alumni isn't that big itself (it still does have some weight).</p>
<p>Nobody considers a cousin a legacy situation. Each college can define legacy differently and it may include grandparents or sibliing relationships, but not cousins.</p>
