<p>Your chances are pretty solid --</p>

<p>Hard one because Stanford takes a lower percentage of legacies than any other top school, half what most ivies take at under 25%. But you should be a good test case as a double legacy, maybe they'll up your chances to 50%. Has your family been generous? Also, most top schools claim their accepted legacies have above average stats which you don't. Let us know.</p>
