<p>yes! they put a HUGE emphasis on alumni. Your father and sister will be of importance, but not your uncle, they just look at immediate family. My mother, father, grandfather and grandmother (grandparents do count) and brother all went. My brother was a mediocre high school student, GPA was less around a 2.9...and he got in with no problem, he was told in an interview at one point (this was back in 95 things could have changed but I doubt it) that as long as he maintained a 2.7 he'd have no problems getting in. Of course it depends on the major, he went for hotel restaurant management. I can't get in despite alumni and high credentials because the school of nursing is full and not accepting app's...</p>
