<p>afro,</p>

<p>I would suggest you divide your college list by at least a factor of 3. I don't think the urm status will help at the ivies/super elite (though urm+legacy+ed at priceton would help....a lot). Dad's bschool prbly is not a legacy. NYU, Mich, BC, Emory, UNC look good as reaches, you should get into one at least. Ohio State (great football), Kentucky, etc., you're in. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>why would Stanford business school count as legacy?</p>

12

<p>stanford would count people have told me and so has my dad thank you though...also why would emory and michigan and nyu be out my act is write in the middle for those colleges what are the other factors</p>
