Hummm.....I've never heard of a second uncle before and if George Sr's sister is your great aunt, why isn't he your great uncle? That would mean, I think, that they are the siblings of one of your grandparents, right?
But in any event, I think your situation and his situation are not the same at all. If an admissions office did not KNOW you were related to the Bushes, how could they give you preferential treatment?
