Question Regarding Alumni Relationship

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Columbia places special emphasis on applicants who have an immediate sibling (older sister, for instance) who has graduated from the institution and a parent currently employed by CU (take into account an applicant possessing both of these cases)?</p>

<p>Thanks alot.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if there's any legacy preference for siblings but I think you may at least get a discount for a parent working there.</p>

<p>Ahh ok, thanks alot for the response.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>In the first page of the "Application for Admission 1", it asks whether a parent or sibling has graduated from or is currently attending CU.</p>

<p>Subsequently, it also asks whether a parent is a full-time employee of CU.</p>

<p>Just caught my attention</p>

<p>Yes, there is a legacy preference for a sibling.</p>
