How much does being a legacy help my chances? (EA)

<p>I'm OOS, and my mother went to U of M. What advantage will this give me in the admissions process?</p>

<p>Stats: 3.75 GPA, top 10% (barely), 32 ACT, 790 Lit SAT II, 760 US History
AP's: WHAP (5), APUSH (5), this year: Calc AB, Psych, US Gov, Lit
Essays: Common App is great, supplements are pretty good
Recs: Teachers' should be excellent, no clue about GC
EC's: Good? President of Spanish Honor Society, NHS officer, MUN, scholastic bowl, pit orchestra, other orchestra, MC for the variety show, fall play, etc.</p>

<p>I know that people with better stats than me are deferred and rejected, but would legacy status give my app a boost?</p>

<p>Legacy status only helps a little, but given your stats, it may make a difference.</p>
