<p>While your raw number maybe correct (and I have no reason to assume otherwise), the simple fact is that legacies do have a much higher chance of admissions to highly selective schools, something on the order of 2:1 or 3:1 over non-legatees. Of course, they must have the stats to be competitive for legacy to be of any advantage.</p>
