OOS Students - do siblings have a chance to get in?

<p>We are OOS - my S is current a third year student at UVa. UVa is the first choice for our other child. His stats and EC's are about the same as his older brother.</p>

<p>Question directed to Dean J, but other opinions gladly welcome: I know siblings don't count as legacies, but, especially for an OOS Student, does it help (or hurt) that his brother is a current student? His brother is very active at UVa, by the way. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Unless there's somewhere to put it on the app (which I don't remember there being), how would the admissions committee know??</p>

<p>Good point - I guess I would like to know if it helps to put it on the app</p>

<p>There's nothing formal that will help your younger son get in and I can't imagine that the sibling relationship would be a tremendous boost, but I think it would be a nice thing to mention on the application somewhere.</p>
