[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, if it even mattered, that relationship should have paid off even before you (your DC) having to tell the admissions officer of it. [/quote] OP here. You've kinda nailed how we are feeling. We don't live in the city where the university is and neither parent attended. We are not in any way part of the fabric of the school unlike how we are active members in our own college alumni associations. So we don't really have any connection other than this interesting factoid. So, rather than it being like a Kennedy applying to the Kennedy School of Government (no explanation necessary, everyone knows), it is more akin to having the last name Carnegie (but not the money). An unusual enough name that maybe an admissions officer at CMU would raise an eyebrow and do enough research to see that, hey, yes, this kid is related to our founder and, well, why didn't you say so? Trying to figure out how to navigate those waters.[/quote]
