Does family lineage help your chances?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am aware that if your grandparents and your parents attended a certain school and you plan to attend that school as well, you have a better chance of getting in to that college (correct me if I'm wrong). Well, my sister is attending UCLA right now, and I plan to attend UCLA if I do get in. I did get into UCSD, but UCLA is my first choice. I was wondering how much or how little having a sister in the campus helps in the admission process.</p>

<p>P.S. (did the UC application or applications in general ask if your family member is in the college you are applying for? I don't quite remember)</p>

<p>UC system does not consider legacy.</p>

<p>AFAIK sister's don't count for "lineage," and most public schools don't care</p>

<p>actually rahulio most schools consider siblings in admissions decisions. its like having parents who went there. but yes, most public schools dont care.</p>
