<p>Do the admissioner people look at siblings in yale when considering your application</p>

2

<p>It does not help your admssion chances
Only parents/ grandparents give you legacy status</p>

3

<p>no, i believe a sibling at yale does help you. but im not sure about his/her grades</p>

4

<p>No it does not</p>

<p>Yale openly states this, and an adcom at my info session supported it. You can do a search online or through these forums regarding this</p>

<p>in this chat with margit dahl, she says, “Having a sibling at Yale suggests that the applicant is well-informed about Yale, but it doesn’t play much of a role at the admissions committee table. The fact that there’s a Yale sibling will always be mentioned to the committee, but then the merits of the applicant on his or her own take over.”</p>

<p>oh…hmm…i always thought that even if they said they dont prefer people with siblings at yale, they still give them a bit of a leg up…but i dont really know for sure…i dont have any evidence. anyway, to the op–good luck, and dont worry about your sisters :)</p>

<p>Do grandparents really give legacy status?</p>

<p>What about uncles?
Have an uncle and grandmother that both attended Stanford and was wondering if that makes me a legacy.</p>

<p>i believe grandparents count as legacies, but i’m not sure about uncles</p>

<p>Not sure about Stanford, but Yale is parents and grandparents</p>
