<p>You could definitely use them to talk about becoming interested in cornell. That would convince cornell that you really want to go there, even if you don’t apply ED.</p>

<p>If they have graduated they may make you a legacy, I’m not sure. Call admissions and ask.</p>

<p>The Cornell application has a spot for listing parents and grandparents that attended Cornell. (No doubt you could mention siblings that attended Cornell elsewhere in your application, as a reason for your interest in attending.)</p>

<p>The Profile of the Class of 2009 indicates that 15% of the Class were Alumni Children or Grandchildren

The information for the following lists was compiled during the admissions process from data provided
by the descendents of alumni who apply for admission as undergraduates, are admitted, and then
matriculate at the University. No such list is ever considered to be complete, so additions and corrections to the
lists are welcome. Please contact Cornell Alumni Magazine with any revisions.
