    Wink College admissions essay hypo (don't need fast)

    If you're applying to a college a relative is an alumnus of (not your parents), would you mention it in passing during your college essay?

    I doubt it would either help or hurt. I probably wouldn't mention it unless it were truly integral to the point of your essay.

    Good luck!

    I'm not applying to school. (I flamed out of grad school) this was a thought experiment, and your answer was what I was thinking. I know parents were "legacies" but wondered if that extended to other family.
