I am likewise a legacy through my mother and uncle. However, that does not qualify as a “special circumstance.” I tend to disagree with the notion of the previous poster that Stanford does not value legacies- a recent poll showed that 20% of the class is comprised of legacies. It gives a definite boost to applicants, but is only helpful if the candidates themselves are highly qualified. Right now, your SAT scores are simply too low for Stanford. You should consider retaking for a better chance
