[b]They do ask the question[/b].

My guess is it has some mild relevance to yield likelihood/waitlist management but you would likely find it nearly impossible to prove this even if you had perfect knowledge to scrutinize the app processing.

You should ask your kid to leverage sibling connections and campus visit experiences so they can be referenced in the "Why Michigan" essay.  How about referencing contacts with existing students, maybe sitting in on a class, etc.  The point is to convey "why" at a deep level.  Raw legacy is not differentiating.

Don't give up on the wait list either.  We know someone in-state who got into Engineering in mid-May.[/quote]

Legacy doesn’t matter for admissions to Michigan. My DCs are legacies at Michigan. They ask about family connections to Michigan in the app because they send a different communication to you throughout the process (for example, the acceptance, rejection or waitlist letter has a sentence or two which acknowledges your family’s connection or legacy at the school).
