<p>Lol, in at Duke?! With such certainty! DTan, you are either incredibly unaware, or just silly. Dude is not even in top 5%, whereas Duke, NW, Chi, and co reject thousands of vals a year? OP has good chance with those SATs, though class rank is low for Stanford/Duke/Dartmouth/Columbia.</p>

4

<p>Your chances are as good as anyone's....good luck!</p>

5

<p>only thing that will hinder you is your rank and GPA. Make sure your essay is phenomenal.</p>

6

<p>am I automatically out of the running at Stanford/Dartmouth/Duke/Columbia because of low rank and low GPA(except Stanford)</p>

7

<p>Stanford is probably less of a reach for you than the other three, with Columbia probably being the biggest reach of the four you mentioned.</p>

8

<p>bump, any other opinions? really appreciate it :(</p>

9

<p>I dunno - I think Stanford is your biggest reach. How'd u do on Usamo?</p>

10

<p>Stanford University...........15%
Emory University...............95%
Georgetown University.......50%
UChicago.........................50%
WashU(in state)................99%
Notre Dame......................65%
Columbia University............25%
Rice University..................50%
Dartmouth College..............40%
Northwestern....................50%
Duke University..................45%</p>

<p>So even with above a 4.0 GPA at Stanford, my chances are lower at that than at Columbia? And, I thought WashU in-state was much more difficult than out of state... at least, that's what people at my school say.</p>

12

<p>Actually, Stanford recalculates GPA on an unweighted basis, so your grades will not be above 4.0 there. And they also don't consider non-academic classes, which means your GPA can only go down (assuming you got As in your PE classes).</p>

<p>And which WashU? The St.Louis one? Then clearly your chances are going to be much lower than "99%".</p>

13

<p>Well, even so, my unweighted GPA would be well over my unweighted GPA 9-12, calculated at about a 3.944 unweighted GPA 10-12, seeing as my only PE credits were in 9th grade.
Also, WashU the St. Louis one... I didn't even know there was another one. What would be my chances at that WashU?
And, is Stanford still the biggest reach(bigger than Columbia, I mean) even though my GPA would be higher at Stanford then at Columbia?</p>
