<p>helllllllo everyone! my curiosity has gotten the best of me...does being a legacy at CMU increase chances of admission considerably? Both of my parents graduated from CMU undergrad and I would love to attend, but am not positive if I can get in. Would being a legacy help here? Please just answer if you actually have any knowledge on the weight of being a CMU LEGACY, not just a legacy ANYWHERE. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Yes it would help.</p>
<p>I’m sure it has a slight positive effect, so it might give you a slight bump over others with the same academics. It won’t make a <em>huge</em> difference, though.</p>
<p>In any case, it’s not really worth worrying about. Apply and see what happens :)</p>
<p>Thanks. Yeah, guess I will just see what happens. I definitely don’t have the math SAT i would need to get in so I thought maybe this would help haha. Ohhhhh well, college apps here i come</p>
