<p>Not to be entirely sarcastic, but if you are talking about US Senators, there are only 100 of them. If they have an average of 2.2 children each, there are only 220 children of senators. Now, those kids are of all different ages - we can maybe assume that they span 20 years -> there are only 10 children of senators who apply to college (not even UMich) every year. Every year, 25,000 people apply to UMich. Even if all 10ish children of senators apply, they make up one in 2,500 applicants. </p>
<p>Why sweat that?</p>
