Cousins Attended A University I'm Applying To...

<p>If my father went to Penn (grad) and my two cousins went to Penn (Undergrad), and my other two cousins went to/are going to Columbia (grad), will that have any weight in admissions at all?</p>

<p>Your dad - a little, but not as much as if he had been an undergrad there.
Your cousins - I don’t think so. Do you know how many cousins some people have???</p>

<p>Thanks for the input on the cousins.</p>

<p>

That’s actually not true for Penn. They weight grad/undergrad the same for legacy consideration.</p>

<p>PENN LEGACY
A child or grandchild of a Penn alumnus who received an undergraduate and/or graduate degree from Penn is considered a legacy in Penn’s undergraduate admissions process.</p>

<p>I think it will help you knowing that your dad was a grad student there.</p>
