yeah, those kind of legacies definitely help. i was responding to a comment about a 1 generation legacy.. which could help but i personally wouldn't count too much on having it be the defining factor of your application.

Well one of the people i know this year got into stanford early action. She is a 5th generation Legacy, and while her application was impressive... i wouldn't say it was the most impressive record i've seen. Of the 3 that got in (early) this year from my school, one had a godly application, the other was 5th gen legacy, and the last one was a minority.

Enamored.
