Is it worth it for me to apply to their Philly office? From northeast, but not from Philly and didn't go to school there. However, my brother has lived there for 7 years and I have cousins that I am close with who live there.

Sure, why not? If you can make a case that you would be committed to working somewhere, why wouldn't you apply? The worst thing thats going to happen is they are going to reject you.

You can try. I applied to their SF office as a native San Franciscan (go to law school at a T-30 on the East Coast) and got rejected within 45 minutes.
