<p>... at the average public high school with around 1500 total enrollment and a little less than 400 in each class?</p>
<p>i dont know, maybe top 5% for 1-10, 10% for 11-20 and 15 or 20%for top 21-25</p>
<p>You have to realize that nobody can possibly answer this question and that any response you get is going to be hugely biased towards the immediate assumptions that people make about you that are probably totally off base. Class rank is relevant only in the context of your specific school, and it’s not going to be a deal-breaker unless it’s low enough that your GPA is a deal-breaker anyway. If you want people’s opinions on your chances you’re going to have to post a much more comprehensive description of yourself and your status, but even then you should realize that most of the people “chancing” you aren’t even in college yet and most certainly have absolutely zero relevant experience with actual admissions committees.</p>
