I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think that being a legacy will get you in unless you also have the stats for Vanderbilt; I know of friends’ children who did not get into Vanderbilt where one girl had 4 legacies and another had 7 (those included parents as well as grandparents, aunts, great uncles, etc.) My husband & I both are graduates and our daughter got in but she was a NMF and top 1% in her class so I suspect she would have gotten in anyway…

I don’t say this to discourage you but want to warn you not to have unrealistic expectations; best of luck with the whole application process!
