<p>class rank destroys chances at harvard/princton/mit
penn/brown are reaches since they accept like like 5% not in the top 10%(of that 3% is athletes/urms/hooks)
duke/cornell/washu/ucb are low reaches
rest are targets/safeties</p>

-tjhos colleges are reaches for anyone, a lot of people who apply have excelent act/sat score if not perfect-what are your ecs?</p>

6

<p>Rank makes everything below CMU unlikely. Good shot at the rest.</p>

7

<p>my rank is 45/409 which is 11 percentile… how does that make wash u unlikely?</p>

8

<p>^I wouldn’t say it kills your chance at WashU. I think about 90% [or more] of freshman were in the Top 10% of their class. However, a perfect ACT will make you stand out for the most part. I would say your in at WashU.</p>

9

<p>ok anyone else have opinions?</p>

10

<p>Washington U will almost certainly waitlist you, and let you in if you get on the phone with them and tell them you’ll definitely go there if approved. They have a reputation for manipulating their acceptance percentages this way. My son’s school’s scattergram data on Washington U shows 2 acceptances and 8 waitlistings for high-ranked students over the last 5 years.</p>

11

<p>ive heard that too… what about the other schools im applying to?</p>

12

<p>Normally, your GPA would take you out of the running at MIT, Brown, Princeton, and Harvard. However, these schools do have a sweet spot for students doing good deeds for society, if those accomplishments are significant. Your near-perfect ACT should prove you are able to handle the work, the question is: how convincingly can you show that your dedication to charity affected your classroom grades? Your essays and letters of recommendation COULD get you in at one of these schools, but of course the competition is fierce. Cross your fingers and go for it, but make sure you also have some safety schools in place.</p>

<p>ok cool. thanks</p>
