    No, that's too strong. I've heard you just don't get extra points for having family there. So it doesn't hurt you; it just doesn't help.

    Thanks, so Berkeley prefers not having students who have relatives in school right?

    I heard they may prefer to have "network" so it would be better to have students who have some relations to the school, but I guess it's not like that?

    This often is related to "legacy" considerations, and depending on the school can swing either way. By way of example, I've heard (but not confirmed) that Berkeley actively eschews legacy points.

    Additionally, were I an admissions officer I'd prefer to know if you had an uncle on the faculty who was lobbying on your behalf.
