<p>Does anyone know if on the Penn State application it asks if you have any family members who attended? I know some of the other schools he is applying to ask this information. My DS is out of state but has myself, plus an uncle, and 2 grandparents who attended. His grades and test scores are very good and based on the matrix I've see on CC for PSU University Park admission his academics certainly put him in the running for admission. I was just wondering if having multiple alumni helps tip the balance. We also did a campus visit in the spring. Thanks </p>
<p>It did when I applied, however this may only marginally help unless you’re a large donor. </p>
