Does it help my child during the application process if I graduated from WP?

I know some colleges give extra "points" for being a legacy, but I am not sure if that is the case with WP.

Anyone have insight?
 
I have no clue but I can say that on the application it does ask if any of your parents or siblings went to an academy. If it does help, I think it is probably trivial.

It helps big time, you definitely have a leg up on the competition.
I believe the explanation I was given about this was: If the parents finished an academy or had Military experience, their children would naturally have similar commitment levels and understand the military lifestyle.

Are you currently serving or retired from the military? There is a special nomination that your child is eligible for if you are.
 
I am neither retired nor currently active. My father was a retired colonel and I secured a Presidential nomination to get to WP. I believe I was eligible for that due to his military status.
 
I have a similar question to this. My family has graduated 17 I believe spanning 7 generations since 1825. Would this legacy help me or have no effect on my application?
