Younger Brother Admitted to UG, Any chance for me??

So got news that my brother got into H/S/W undergrad. Any chance that may reflect on my Bschool application in a positive manner? I'm assuming most likely not, but hey you never know...

Unless you trained the kid like the old guy from Rocky, then no...

Yes obviously it will help you but it won't guarantee acceptance. Put it in parentheses under your education section on your resume, and that will take you 90% of the way, so as long as your work experience/GPA/GMAT aren't terrible you're pretty much in.

So what you're saying is I should try to talk my younger brother out of choosing Amherst over U of Chicago if I want to go to booth?

 

What if you had two brothers: one went to H/Y/P and the other to a community college, does that cancel each other out? How about cousins, can we do cousins?

 

OP, please lay off the crack pipe. How the fuck would you even bring that up? Also, that is literally the most pathetic thing that you would even contemplate piggybacking off your YOUNGER sibling's success!
