Hook: legacy</p>

<p>Let me know what you think! Be honest!</p>

<p>you have a great chance. The legacy certainly adds a lot of bonus points, and your test scores are great. I just got in EA and my scores aren't as high. Nothing's certain I guess, but there's not much more you could have. Maybe ECs but there's nothing you can do about that now, right?</p>

3

<p>kind of a dearth of e.c.'s no?</p>

4

<p>yeah, that may be the only downfall. But this is all a crapshoot anyway.</p>

5

<p>o silly me! i forgot sports! im on the varsity swimming, soccer, and track teams! does that clear things up? haha sorry...i can be a little ditzy</p>

6

<p>what are your awards?
and where do you live?
and what is your ethnicity?</p>

7

<p>Swimming+Soccer+Track+2390+rank+legacy = as good a shot as anyone. Good luck.</p>

<p>oh by the way, i didnt realize this was that important before, but neither of my parents went to college...</p>

<p>thanks again for the help! you ppl are awesome!</p>

<p>riiiight it all makes sense.....you are a legacy, yet neither of ur parents went to college</p>

<p>hmmm......</p>

10

<p>grandparents maybe? ::shrug::</p>

11

<p>i don't think that officially counts as a legacy....</p>

<p>jjjjjj,
mistaken or fakin?</p>

12

<p>actually my uncle went...but they ask for any family relationships...so wouldnt that count? maybe its not called legacy?</p>

13

<p>doesn't count for legacy....if anything they'll just be like "hmm, thats cool" and continue reviewing ur file</p>
