This year, I’m estimating that around 36% of legacy applicants were accepted.
Thats based on the 300 number here:

Divided by an estimated 10% increase from last year’s legacy number which is described here: http://news.duke.edu/2008/01/regular_admissions.html
That figure would be around 825

300/825 = 36.36% estimated legacy acceptance rate

Based on these statistics, Legacy is a marked advantage, however, it is by no means a shoo-in.
