Is it good or bad that I have a cousin that is going to WashU? Should I tell WashU that my cousin's enrolled? because I kind of want to go too, and would like to get everything I can to try to get in.
On the other hand, my cousin has had a bad reputation and has always gotten in trouble and gotten on "the bad side" with teachers. To put it simply, he's been a bad apple.
Considering THAT, should I inform the interview-ee or the admissions office at WashU that my cousin would be currently enrolled as a senior when I enter college there?
Would that help my chances of getting accepted by WashU?
Thanks,
and if you have any other tips concerning college admissions, it would all be GREATLY appreciated.

It is neither good nor bad. No one really cares that you have a cousin there - it might be different if it were a parent or even a sibling, but not a cousin. And since you say he has been a bad apple, I wouldn't mention him at all. While it is unlikely that the interviewer would know him, why take the risk? It could only harm you!

Unless your cousin (or his family) donate a good chunk of change to WashU, I really don't think that his status as a student there will help your chances of getting in. Just my opinion!
Be yourself, and put your best foot forward. I'm sure you'll do just fine :)

it shouldn't help or hurt your admissions.
if you have the grades and the money, they don't care who you're related to.
