How important is legacy?

<p>I don't think my stats are competitive enough for Stanford, but I have several aunts/uncles and a grandfather who attended. I know aunts and uncles might not count, but my grandfather was very involved, played football, etc. If someone could tell me how much of a factor legacy is, I would really appreciate it.</p>

<p>that kind of stuff is probably a very minor boost. you need to be a competitive applicant without the legacy.</p>

<p>i dont think they count anything but parents as legacy..</p>
