<p>Also, how does the quality of the high school/graduating peer class affect college acceptances?</p>
<p>Will an extremely competitive class help? Or is it the opposite and a weaker graduating class will help, assuming a constant standard of excellence for the student in question?</p>
<p>I think your chances are substantially better than mine. RSI and USAMO are really big hooks and it sucks for me that you're applying SCEA to Stanford. Honestly, I find it hard for you to be rejected at any schools save Harvard. You know you're in at MIT and if you apply to Caltech you'd be a prime candidate for a scholarship. On the talk of scholarship Stanford only awards athletic scholarships which from what I can tell here you won't be getting. My class rank is in the top 11-12%, yea I know that stinks. Yep Jian Li was the guy who whined about not getting into top schools though I think he forgot he got into Yale and Caltech. I wish you good luck even though you won't need it :P</p>
<p>They're all still reaches.</p>
<p>I'll call Stanford a Match.</p>
<p>...maybe.</p>
<p>excuse me, what is an IB school?</p>
<p>Stop bumping old threads! International Baccalaureate, google stuff mate. And u asked on another topic what urm is - under-represented minority.</p>
