<p>Both my parents went to Claremont Mckenna and my mom is a hall of fame athlete. My father is friendly with the admission boards there. I also want to play basketball. Do you think I'm a shoe-in regardless of my app? I want to go there for pre-med.</p>
<p>The CDS says alumni relation is only considered. <a href=“http://www.cmc.edu/ir/CDS2010_2011.pdf[/url]”>http://www.cmc.edu/ir/CDS2010_2011.pdf</a> Your ability to influence the app process is dependent on how good you are at BBall. And no one is a shoo-in at a school with a 16% selection rate (note the spelling).</p>
