<p>We have 4 first cousins and an Aunt that went to Williams. My D is a good student, but Williams only seems to take legacies and recruited athletes from our large competitive suburban HS in NJ. Do you think have 5 relatives that went to Williams would help her application at all?</p>
<p>I doubt it would. However, this may encourage you. My S was excepted from a suburban Long Island HS. He is completely unhooked and is not an athlete or a legacy. We did mention a cousin who attended Williams and did brilliantly, but I doubt that had any influence. Craft your application to match the admissions website. That’s the best advice I can give. Good luck to your D.</p>
