Does having a cousin attending Notre Dame help my chances?

<p>pretty much what the title says.</p>

<p>no..sorry (adding more for length)</p>

<p>nope, unless perhaps you could tie in how visiting said cousin made you want to go to ND, but even that is a stretch</p>

<p>not even a tiny bit unless maybe that cousin is regis philbin</p>

<p>she does have a job in the admissions office</p>
