<p>Children of parents in Administrative roles (HR Directors, Managers, admissions and financial aid personnel and even in support staff (whether you are an admininstrative assistant or part of the security or maintenance staff or any where in between)will still get a bit of boost in admissions at the schools in which their parents are employed because tuition remission is a big benefit and part of their compensation package. So while a company may not pay out actual $$ in direct compensation they can make up for in using indirect compensation -tuition benefits (at some schools parents get full tuition remission for their children at the undergrad level while others the parent will get full tuition remission at the undergrad and professional schools). Still the student will have to be a viable candidate. Remember on the application it will ask what your parents do for a living and the student will indicate that they have a parent working at the school.</p>
