I have a parent that works at Cal, and a benefit of this is that admissions officers will accept the the student who is a child of a staff member when they are borderline, or when they are between several students to choose from. Based on my stats, how much greater of a chance do I have with this? I’m intending to apply to the College of Environmental Design for architecture.
