hi so my class rank is 8 out of 24 students. i want to know if that is considered to be a good rank to apply to university like nyu, columbia, upen
You’re not giving nearly enough information.
With a class size as small as 24, your rank is probably almost irrelevant.
What are your test scores? GPA? Course rigor? Hooks? Extracurriculars? How many students at your school go on to attend college? What’s the track record for sending students to the most selective schools? etc.
