Legacy at Cornell?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My mother went to Cornell, as did my uncle. I know that this certainly makes me a "legacy," but I'm not so sure it will make a difference. My mom and uncle are middle-class, meaning they don't give millions to the school every year. So, without the money, will being a legacy actually help here? What are my chances?</p>

<p>32 composite ACT, no sports, about 5 great ecs, 2 jobs (1 held for 3 years so far), and a summer internship at an autism research institute.</p>

<p>So, what do you think?</p>

<p>I’ve heard that legacy at Cornell helps you a lot if you apply early decision, even if your family members don’t give millions to the school. For regular decision, though, it supposedly has little to no effect.</p>
