Personal Statement advice
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 5:59 pm
I'm applying to a school from where an older sibling graduated a few years ago. Would it be appropriate to mention that alumni connection in my personal statement? It wouldn't be gratuitous or anything, in fact my purpose in mentioning her would be to say that, through her, I became acquainted with the school and since then have always made it a goal to try and gain admittance there. But what do you all think? Any advice would be welcome.
