<p>Despite having no intentions of applying to Harvard, I was wondering how would having more than one relative working at Harvard influence your chances? (if it does at all) I have multiple direct relatives who work as researchers there.</p>
<p>I haven’t done much research about Harvard and have no idea what their perceptions would be toward an applicant in a similar situation. I’d just be curious to know your thoughts.</p>
<p>I think it would possibly give you an upper hand and maybe an additional look at your application.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t see how it could have any favorable effect whatsoever.</p>
<p>xrCalico23, that what I was assuming, I feel that it would act as tipping point for a competitive applicant with an exemplary application.</p>
<p>What if I was to say one of them is a Nobel Peace prize winner, would that change somethings?</p>
<p>I don’t think so, since Nobel Peace Prizes aren’t exactly family heirlooms that are handed down from generation to generation.</p>
<p>You can certainly have them write a good handful of recommendations for you, which would indubiously make you a luckyass mother****er.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Malia, is that you?</p>
<p>I apologize varska, I don’t know who that is.</p>
<p>I appreciate all your comments and thoughts!</p>
<p>I think Malia is Obama’s daughter. Obama was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize this year.</p>
<p>^and was heavily criticized for it too</p>
<p>The Obama girls would get harvard acceptances before they even apply. They might be pressured to reject the offer though because of political scrutiny.</p>
