<p>Does anyone now what percentage of legacy applicants are admitted ED? Thanks.</p>
<p>So maybe they don't publish these stats, as I haven't been able to find them and nobody has replied... Can those who got in as legacies post stats or comment on how much of an advantage they think is given?</p>
<p>my daughter got in as a legacy - her stats were
GPA 5.4 w 4.0 uw
SAT's 800/800/780
8 APs
EC's that matched her interests incl Pres. of some</p>
<p>I think being a legacy was really the only reason she got in</p>
<p>(know several other legacies from our town who did not get in)</p>
<p>Did she apply ED? Those stats seem very good for a legacy or a regular applicant. Thanks for your reply! Anybody else?</p>
<p>um, memphismom, I could see your daughter getting in even w/o a legacy, those are fantastic grades :) Anyway, Cornell weighs legacy close to a first generation student. Not sure if that helps, but good luck anyway!</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>14 percent total accepted were legacies</p>
<p>So first generation is better than legacy?</p>
<p>Cornell gives a good deal of preference to legacies of course, but I don't think it's at the level of Harvard or Yale. (i.e. Harvard's admit rate for legacies is 40%)</p>
<p>memphismom, those seem like amazing stats. I think she would have had a very high chance of admittance even without legacy status.</p>
<p>i agree with foxdie</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone's replies! Anybody else? Maybe some more legacy admits?</p>
<p>how much of a legacy do you have to be to be considered a legacy? I know on the app they go to great grandparent and my great grandfather went to cornell</p>
<p>You have to be a legacy in order to be considered a legacy...unless, of course, you're a legacy</p>
<p>wow i really did look domb there didnt i haha</p>
