<p>Duke a low reach, WUSTL a match? Most people at Princeton and Stanford are in the top 5, not top 5%. I owuld say dude has a decent shot everywhere except Princeton, Stanford, and Columbia, since ther acceptance rate equals your class rank.</p>

6

<p>I thought Princeton and Stanford would be a lowr reach then columbia, because my GPA is a 4.019 there, and therefore not accurately reflect my rank... yes?</p>

7

<p>I don't mean to be crass, but Princeton/Stanford adcoms really ain't gonna care about any "accurate reflection."</p>

8

<p>That sounds illogical. For colleges that throw out freshmen grades for a reason, seeing an applicant with a 4.0 10-12 and a 3.8 9-12, a class rank that's 10% 9-12 would obviously be lower 10-12. One would assume a college admission committee that specifically is assigned to choose the best suited class of the specific year would be sure to watch out for anything that would disrupt an "accurate reflections." Corect me if I'm wrong, though.</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Columbia / Brown / Dartmouth / Penn / Duke: Moderate Reach
Emory / WUSTL / Gtown / Tufts / NYU: Match - High Match</p>

10

<p>Columbia/Brown/Dartmouth - Moderate Reach
Stanford/Princeton/Dartmouth/Penn/Duke - Low Reach
Emory/WUSTL/GT/Tufts - Match
NYU - Low Match</p>

<p>It appears most viewers failed to see or realize the weight of TASP/USAMO</p>

<p>Yeah, if you can write good essays, then I say you're in everywhere buddy. Forget GPA, you have national level hooks and that's what ultimately will get you in.</p>
