<p>Legacy will get you in.</p>

3

<p>you look solid, more solid than many other applicants here. i say 60% chance. 99% if your dad has donated 50,000+ to princeton</p>

4

<p>Good chance if you're a real legacy (parent), great chance if your family has been generous.</p>

5

<p>My dad hasn't really donated that much to Princeton (anything to be considered in admissions).</p>

6

<p>You would be a solid candidate even without your hook and legacy. Still, no one should hold their breath for Princeton.</p>
