Hi everyone! My uncle is one of the doctors that works for Penn medicine. I just want to know if I should let Penn know that my uncle works for them. I absolutely love the college and I know it may not help me get in immediately, but I feel like as if it would help. what do you guys think?
oh yeah, I plan to do pre-med btw
I can’t imagine this would really help, but it might make an interesting starting point for an essay.
It won’t help. He would have to be of high enough stature there (president, trustee, provost) that he could call admissions and tell them his niece/nephew is applying and it would have an impact. Doesn’t sound like that’s the case, as you described that he “works” there.
