<p>1 > 3 > 2
10char</p>

<p>2 > 1 > 3 imho</p>

<p>2, 1, 3</p>

<p>but 1 and 3 are pretty close...</p>

<p>1 > 3 > 2 I think. Legacies do count for something especially when both parents went.</p>

<p>2 > 3 > 1 imo</p>

<p>1 and 3 IN! </p>

<h1>2 --- OUT. :(</h1>

<p>Sooooooo...which one are you! :)</p>

<p>haha, these are all so close and pretty much everybody so far has had differing opinions.
for me: 3>1>2</p>

<p>I think #1 has a far better shot than #2.
BOTH of his parents went to Stanford. Come on now.</p>

<p>@kmitch: This is actually a real situation. And yes, I'm one of the three. I'll tell you guys which one I am and the real results in 2 months =)</p>

<p>3,2,1
Number one should've taken more APs...</p>

<p>I can tell he is number 2 because sibling's spouse is insignificant.</p>

<p>no way... look at #1's Rigor of Courses. Only two AP's, which is sub par for Stanford. </p>

<p>I'd say 2>3>1, congrats OP lol</p>
