<p>They certainly treat us nicely with letters and personal contacts at the school (which came in handy when they lost my transcipt). But will a legacy really boost me that much? I think my stats would show I am qualified, but there is still so much chance to everything. Does anyone know how legacy helps?</p>
<p>I would like to know the answer to this also.</p>
<p>From what I know, I think that it can definitely push you over. My sister was a legacy and she got in with very good stats, but probably average when you consider the stanford applicant pool. </p>
<p>Thank god for legacy =)</p>
<p>that sounds great... it's nice to hear something positive when most everything i read on this site makes me more nervous :)</p>
