I just found out that my cousin is an associate professor at Penn’s med school. I knew she was a doctor, but I never bothered to ask where she worked. The thing is that I already submitted my ed app to Penn and I didn’t report any family members working at Penn. Is there any advantage to having a family member work at Penn and should I contact the admissions office or have my cousin contact them on my behalf and say something? I realize that it’s a shot in the dark, but I know having connections to the school definitely helps, especially since I’m applying ed, so should I be doing anything or should I just leave it alone.
