<p>i’m wharton '08 with sibling legacy and i know a lot of other people with siblings that went to penn too. if you think about it, you are more likely to be like your sibling than your parent because you were raised in the same environment as your siblings while your parents grew-up in completely different environments. thats just my take on it…there is no citations or scientific analysis behind what i said, just pour opinion. i’m not saying that sibling legacy is more helpful than parental legacy…just showing the merits behind accepting a sibling of a penn student/alum.</p>
