If i applied to a med school that my parent went to, does this higher my chances?

Yes, it does. Consider working on your English skills. Or your verbal MCAT score might take a hit. Doctors need to have good English skills to perform well. Unless, of course, this question was poorly worded, and you are, truly, a wordsmith in disguise.

Depends on whether your parents pissed people off at the school or not - legacy works both ways

Unless your parents are great/famous doctors, Ben Carson level, I don't think it will make a big difference. It will probably come up on your interview though.

It should at least increase your chance of getting an interview.

It can't hurt, but why should it help? They have their pick of the litter and simply because your parent went there doesn't necessarily make you more desirable.
