<p>Since your school doesn’t rank, it seems like it is quite competitive. How big is your class?</p>
<p>I don’t think you should fret at all over your class rank…</p>
<p>In my school 50% are going to good schools like UCB, WashU, USC, Northwestern and 15% got into very very good schools like Stanford, UPenn, Harvard, Williams etc. The so called “bottom to mediocre” chunk are going to places like NYU, American, GWU etc…We have about 130-140 kids per grade. Obviously we have the few outliers like every other school though…</p>
<p>So it would have been completely unfair to include the top 10% in admissions at my school (very competitive private) So, I think you have a great chance if you work hard on your essays</p>
