<p>All of these schools will know exactly where you rank whether or not your school officially ranks. At any good private school, you’re competing with lots of legacies and other hooked kids who make up a considerable number of those getting into top schools.</p>

<p>There are many considerations. You’re first gen yet attend a private school. If you’re on a full merit scholarship that’s a big plus. If you’re first gen but your family can afford private school don’t expect much of a boost.</p>

<p>You have a decent chance at ivys. Great ECS which could make a great hook for you. I’d say 30-40%.</p>
