<p>My dad went to grad school there. I don't know how much that will help, if any.</p>
<p>supposedly legacy and URM arent supposed to matter to MIT</p>
<p>Legacy matters a little bit, but not as much as that 'other' school in town. URM also plays a role.</p>
<p>I think that it matters a lot. I have a friend who got in on legacy</p>
<p>I don't think legacy matters THAT much, but rejected legacy applicants to get an extra review by the admissions director.</p>
