<p>I recently visited my cousin @ SCU where he'll be graduating this year. I dormed a couple days there and instantly fell in love with the campus. do family relations increase chance of acceptance in any way?</p>
<p>Probably, but most likely only slightly. (Especially since it's not your immediate family.) I think the family relations thing is mostly for family alumni. :)</p>
<p>It sure wouldn't hurt you. It might be good if your cousin writes a letter of rec saying how you would fit in well at SCU.</p>
