Three of my family members attended Wayne State. Two of my uncles on my mother's side went their for medical school, and my father did his residency and fellowship in oncology there. Unlike many secondary apps, Wayne State does not have a section for family alumni information.
Should I send admissions an email alerting them about this family connection? Would it be better to try to work in my three family members into the secondary prompts, as to part of my motivation for wanting to attend Wayne State?
Is there any way that I can alert Wayne State about the family alumni, without coming off opportunistic? I feel like have family alumni should be an asset to me (as it is for other applicants at other schools), especially b/c I'm an OOS applicant.
Should I have my uncles write a letter to Wayne State, informing them about my candidacy? The reason I ask, is because unless I can tell Wayne State about my two uncles (since they have a different last name), they won't know about them.
Thanks.
