<p>I am worried because of the way my school does class rank that my rank is too low for most colleges but if anyone could tell me my chances or suggest any other schools to consider that would be great</p>

<p>My list of colleges

2. Cornell
3. Georgetown
4. Hopkins
5. PSU
6. Wake Forest
7. Boston Unveristy
8. Boston College
9. American University
10. Fordham
11. Maryland
12. Lehigh</p>

<p>You look like you have played sports at a relatively high level---might you be a athletic recruit? That may help</p>

3

<p>im tryin for hockey but only for UVA and a few others
but can u tell me without the recruitment?</p>

<p>Alright basically I was you this year except i was ranked top 5%. Same EXACT SAT's, similar EC's (although yours are better) and less community service. I'd say that you do have a shot at all of those schools although your rank will hurt you at some of the top ones. My suggestion to you would be to shorten up your list..12 schools is WAY to many. Try and visit and decide where you want to go most. </p>

<p>(BTW I've been accepted to Notre Dame, Boston College, Villanova and Penn State U Park, and I'm waiting on Georgetown, UVa and Dartmouth). </p>

<p>Your letters will help at UVa and your EC's will be your strong point. Rank will, as i said, hurt you, but you wont have trouble at many of the schools.</p>
