<p>In the parts of the applications asking for any relatives who attended the institution, would listing an uncle-once-removed seem too desperate? He's the only connection I have, so I was debating whether or not to list it. The specific university in question is Stanford, where my uor went for grad school.</p>
<p>...just dont put anything</p>
<p>plus i doubt they would accept an uncle once removed</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that further away from immediate family and grandparents doesn't mean anything, really.</p>
