<p>How important is legacy to Yale? I mean, if your an URM or a first generation student, would your chances be less than someone who is not a minority, but has a great legacy? (Assuming that their SAT scores, class rank, GPA, EC, etc. are equally impressive?)
Oh, and one more thing----Would an Indian or Pakistani be considered as an underrepresented Asian on the app?</p>
<p>Legacy, URM, and first generation student are all factors when considering admission, but they're not as important as SAT/ACT scores, rank, GPA, EC, etc. They might have some say in final decision (when you're on the brink of the yes/no).</p>
<p>Indians are not URM. Pakistani? I don't know about that, but I personally don't think so.</p>
<p>Legacy might outweigh URM if your legacy is Bush or something. :)</p>
