Legacy Worth???

Applying to College
1

Hey everyone,
What do you think a legacy status is worth when applying early to a school like Stanford? I know similar questions have been asked before, but would you think that it would be worth about the same as being the leader of a club? Would legacy be the same as like hypothetically adding another sport onto your list of extracuriculars?

If you could draw a comparison, what would it be?

<p>I don't really know about Stanford,
but I heard Princeton praticularly gives a lot of weight to legacy....
People who have legacy, their chances turn from 12% to 20% </p>

<p>I guess it would help.. but I'm wondering the same for MIT (since I applied there early...)</p>
