How much does Stanford care about clsss rank? I’m just outside the top 10% and I know nothing “automatically disqualifies” you but I also realize some things severely limit your chances. I got into MIT EA, so I’m super not worried if I get in or not, but it’d be nice to get in, especially for financial aid reasons
In another post, you said your low class rank was because of freshman year. Stanford recalculates your gpa without freshman year. They also remove non-core classes such as art or PE. Finally, they round up or down to the letter grade - i.e. a B-, B, and B+ are all counted as a B. As a URM at a top magnet school, I don’t think being just outside the top 10 will be a problem, especially when they recalculate without freshman year. Good luck!
