<p>So do I have a shot even with the bad class rank? thanks!</p>

2

<p>i think you have a good chance.</p>

3

<p>anyone else? how much does vanderbilt care about class rank</p>

4

<p>id say 9 times out of 10 youre in, post your stats and your decision when yuo get your letter</p>

5

<p>well im applying RD so that letter wouldnt come for quite a while.</p>

6

<p>I say very good chance. I am in a similar situation and I have everything going for me except class rank in a public school. My school doesn't rank but I fall "somewhere" between the 19th and 37th percentile. I have been wondering how this will be viewed as well...</p>

7

<p>good news. I also had a very nice application except for class rank. i was in the 27% for UW and 14% for weighted. I got in ED I. So I think you have a great chance</p>

8

<p>thats great! how were your other stats?</p>
