if your older sister or older brother is an alumni.............

<p>if your older sister or older brother is an alumni of a certain boarding school and you are applying to that boarding school do you have really good chances of getting in.</p>

<p>I would highly doubt it would do much unless he/she formed a strong relationship with the school and/or left an amazing legacy there (legacy in the sense that he/she did something amazing... Set an athletic record, was an amazing musician, was the valedictorian, etc.). </p>

<p>So yes depending on the circumstances it can have an effect.</p>

<p>I would say it would help!</p>

<p>It would help if your stats are respectable. But it definitely helps</p>
