<p>Hi, my brother is currently a sophomore at CALS. I am also applying to CALS, and am wondering whether or not sibling legacies are worth much to the adcoms? Also, I am going in the AEM program for business. There has been a lot of speculation about this program, can you get the definitive answer for me, IS IT A ROLLING DEADLINE???</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Don’t know about rolling deadline, but Cornell has a reputation for loving legacies.</p>
<p>I don’t think sibling legacies are that important</p>
<p>I think otherwise, Spanks – know of a 1210 SATs with a 3.4 (no APs), few ECs, no leadership or sports, okay essay – but with 3 sibling legacies. Guess who’s now a Hotelie? His acceptance at Cornell was considered a huge joke at his high school – and the school’s reputation there suffered accordingly. FWIW.</p>
<p>3 is a lot different than one…having 3 siblings there is having one’s family make a huge financial investment in the college.</p>
<p>but I’m not an adcom, so I really don’t know, I just didn’t think one sibling was a big deal</p>
<p>Also, an adult I know is an alum and personal friends with the director of admissions. She is writing a rec for me, do you think this is going to far, or will it help?</p>
<p>Depends on how well the alum knows you…</p>
<p>Sibling legacies are probably MORE important than any other, espcially if a sybling is currently a student while you apply. Parental legacies are next, and then grandparents. Legacies mean a lot less though RD, but they still count.</p>
<p>hotelie aren’t very number driven. besides, in that world - connections mean EVERYTHING :-D</p>
<p>bumping a very old thread…</p>
<p>just needed to ask, does anyone know where you indicate if you have a sibling legacy? On the supplement it only asks for parent/grandparent legacies…</p>
<p>On the common app doesn’t it ask you to list where your siblings go to school?</p>
<p>Yes, the common app has a section for siblings and where they attend school. The supplement asks for parents, grandparents.</p>
