Would it be easier to get accepted into a college institution that my dad previously worked at?

I was curious if this would actually improve my chances of getting in, or if it wouldn't really change anything. I'd also be going there for free since that is part of the benefits that my dad received.

    Depends on the school.  Some schools (such as Harvard) do give preference to the children of graduates and employees.  Other schools (such as MIT) do not.

    The fact that school offers free tuition for the defendants of employees would probably indicate that they do give some preference to them.

    colleges differ.  some might consider such loyalty as a positive for enrollment -- others might ignore it

    No. I was a faculty dependent. The admissions?committee of the college I was admitted to had no idea who my father was. They did know who my high school principal was.

    Where do you live? Most US students would not use the term institution. 

    Really depends on the school and your application. Regardless of your chances, for free tuition you give it a go.

    It certainly works for the Ivy League.
