<p>How much would it help me get in if both my parents (my dad got his masters and phd there) and my sister went to BU? My sat scores are kinda low and my class rank is average so I’m hoping it might give me a boost!!</p>
<p>it should help you a lot as long as you are in the average range for SAT scores and as long as your GPA is pretty decent there shouldn't be any problem (no guarantees of course)</p>
<p>Write some GOOD essays... Legacy doesn't always help. ;p</p>
<p>legacy does help, not sure how much though
kind of depends on how well your legacy did..</p>
