Some schools do give legacy preference of some sort to siblings.

However, I find a lot of questions invasive and not pertinant to the admission’s process. It’s none of their business where the parents were born, where they went to school and how much education they have. I suspect some of the info is doen for statistical studies, sometimes to shed more light on parts of a students app in terms of whether s/he has a lot of inherent advantages,
