<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>1 and 3 IN! </p>
<h1>2 --- OUT. :(</h1>
<p>Sooooooo...which one are you! :)</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>
