<p>My uncle is a graduate of and professor at a university (one of the top five in the country) and I am a freshman in high school. Without diving into details, does anyone know how much this improves my chances?</p>

<p>Also, how much does having a first cousin that attended a first-rate university help in an application to that university?</p>

<p>Is he a professor at a college you are interested in applying to?</p>

<p>Because if he is a professor at Harvard that won’t help your admission at Yale…</p>

<p>About the cousin issue, it may help you, but I wouldn’t bet on it</p>
