How much does being a secondary legacy help getting into Wharton or Harvard MBA programs?
My aunt and grandpa are alumni of these schools and I'm thinking about doing an elite MBA in a couple years. Here are my other stats:
MS Finance GPA: 3.8
BA History GPA: 2.75 (i know)
Math GRE: 163
Writing GRE: 5
Reading GRE: 156
I'm still looking for a job though which I understand is also important.
It probably won't help that much unless your relatives are big name alums, have a strong pull at the school, or have donated a ton of money.
Even then, with a 2.75 and mediocre test scores you're going to have a tough time.
With all that being said you're 4-5 years away from applying. Find a good job, take on some ECs, maybe take a few extension classes, crush the GMAT, and see what happens.
