<p>Yes, definitely apply anyways. From a cursory look you already have a strong app.</p>

<p>Your father can inquire. It’s not uncommon that faculty kids at various colleges get some advantage. It may be unofficial; or have limitations such as full-time faculty only. But, your stats also do look quite good.</p>

<p>If he isn’t now aware, he should also inquire about tuition reduction or eliminaton, if you atted P- or tuition remission/tuition exchange if you attend another school. These latter also may apply to employees who have been there x years.</p>

<p>Frankly, you are very impressive faculty father or not. I think you get in anyway.</p>
