<p>Do you guys think having a sibling already at columbia help someone's chances much?</p>
<p>Yes. Almost as good as a legacy.</p>
<p>I've heard the opposite. I heard that having a sibling go to the same college you're applying to won't help you that much (if at all.) Having a parent (a "true" legacy) is a lot more helpful.</p>
<p>no having a sibling helps....probably considerably....i know several ppl at columbia who had a sibling there or who have one there now.</p>
