<p>My older brother is 33 years old, so he graduated high school in 1990.</p>
<p>He was accepted into Wesleyan and went there for two years, then he transferred to NYU Tisch.</p>
<p>I am applying to NYU, but not necessarily Tisch, and I am not really sure if I am going to apply to Wesleyan. (I'm mainly concerned about NYU.)</p>
<p>Do you think that at these particular colleges, and maybe colleges in general, my brothers attendance could actually help my chances of being accepted.
Also, I mean like realistically. I'm sure that if there was another student that was exactly like me in every way but whose brother did not go to NYU, I would have an advantage, obviously. </p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>All I have to say is: Wesleyan is awesome!!! You should apply there.</p>
<p>Dude. Thanks but that doesn't really answer my question... haha.</p>
<p>o yeah, well, I am not sure if it makes you a legacy. I think it does. Anyway, if you are a legacy, you surely have a leg up. Combined with excellent grades, test scores, and ec;s of course.</p>
<p>That's great. Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>honestly i don't think nyu takes into consideration legacy unless they've donated a ton of money or you're mary kate and ashley's triplet. not to put you down or anything, but unless you and another applicant are EXACTLY the same in every way except for the fact that you're a legacy, i woudln't count on it being a big help. </p>
<p>i'm just saying this from personal experience. (my sister went to nyu and i was rejected...which suprised me 'cause i got into ucla as an out of stater (supposedly more difficult.) at any rate, good luck!</p>
