<p>My brother goes to Cornell...he does well 3.9 i think</p>
<p>will that help my chances the slightest bit?</p>
<p>Colleges will give you slight extra recognition for that relationship. However the word on the street (or in my HS's hallways) is that colleges really don't care unless your family gives them money. However, since your brother is currently attending, I would definitely put his name down.</p>
