Alumni Relation Question

<p>My Father attended both NYU and UVA, does this effect in anyway my chances of being accepted in these schools?</p>

<p>( He donates in the UVA alumni program every year)</p>

<p>Background info: African American Male</p>

<p>-AND-
Is there a way i can find out if i am Native American?
( I feel a connection to Pocahontas =p )</p>

<p>Yes, it can be a tip factor in your admission. From what I’ve gathered, most schools give legacy applications an extra once-over. That means you have one extra chance for those adcoms sit around their big oak table discussing why they like you.</p>
