<p>Hey guys, I have a potential problem concerning the colleges my parents attended. I'm visiting Yale in about a week, and I'm participating in an on-campus alumni interview session. Now, the issue lies in that my parents went to Princeton and UPenn, so I have a couple of questions concerning this. Firstly, will other Ivies be less likely to accept me (assuming that I portray myself as a reasonable candidate) because of the schools my parents attended? </p>
<p>And secondly (because I am currently more interested in attending Yale than either Princeton or UPenn) how can I effectively articulate my desire to the interviewer at Yale that DESPITE my family's history with other Ivies, Yale seems to be the right fit for me? Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it :D.</p>
