<p>In spite of your rank, I still think your chances are rather decent. You've got the scores, GPA and rigor of academics. Your ECs are also quite good. Vassar is a match for you, I think.</p>

<p>I got in while ranked only in the top 20 percentile although I got in EDII. They'll most likely take into account if you are taking the hardest courses available and how the easier classes are ranked as well as how competitive your school is. Also if it is an upward slope that'll help you quite a bit as well.</p>
