<p>My brother goes to Tufts University and completed his Freshman year on the Dean's List. Will his success in college make it easier for me to get into college?</p>
<p>I don't know Tufts' policy on siblings. I do know that having a sibling at a school can be parlayed into heavy demonstrated interest which schools like. You know the school, your family knows the school, you like the school. It makes you a better bet that you will accept the school. However, I would not consider that a heavy duty hook. Maybe a tip, and it depends on how you use it.</p>
