<p>I just started looking at the common app today and noticed it asks where your siblings went to college... if I have an older brother who didn't go to college, is that going to affect my application negatively? Both my parents went to college, so I'm worried it will look weird that my brother didn't go. Thanks!</p>
<p>No, definitely not. For example, if you mention that you’re the first in your family to attend college, that often improves your chances of admissions. Thus, I really don’t see how your brother not going to college would negatively impact your application.</p>
