Will they ruin my chances of getting in?

<p>WashU is my top choice right now, but they only accept 3-5 students from my school every year. My grade, however, has at least 3 legacies that I know of, and I know WashU really likes its legacies. Therefore, will those three people make it even harder for me to get in? They have very similar stats to me, so I am very worried. I really want to get admitted but I'm feeling really hopeless right now. :(</p>

<p>yes, they can make it harder. There’s nothing you can do about it, tho. Think of it as fate. It’s fate if you still get in; it’s fate if you don’t. That way you don’t have to wish you had done something different, better, sooner, etc.</p>
