Will schools hold your decisions against younger siblings?

@oldfort Seriously? They’re looking at prospective students, for heaven’s sake, not doing security check for a Top Secret clearance. I know what an academic job search looks like, and that is the most rigorous search that universities ever do. Since they don’t check whether the candidate has a sibling, or what that sibling is doing, for three faculty members who they are interviewing to be in positions of authority for the next 6 years at very least, then they are not doing it for the thousands of students who are going to be students for the next four years.

There is more than enough reasons to be paranoid about the application processes without inventing reasons for further paranoia.
