<p>You certainly have a shot, but I wouldn’t say you have a foot in the door. One of my guy friends applied there last year, and he had pretty good ECs, a solid GPA, respectable test scores (1900 on the SAT), AND legacy…He got rejected, and I still can’t figure out why.</p>

<p>Its acceptance rate is comparable to the Ivies. I would guess that they would rate leadership roles a little more highly than a typical college.</p>

<p>Your class rank isn’t even in the top 1/4, let alone tenth. It’s gonna be tough…</p>
