I’m surfing threads and youtube videos and it seems most Stanford admits who report class ranks are in the top 1-2%, and more rarely the top 3-5%. I’m predicting my class rank will be 6-7%. Are there a substantial amount of people accepted from the bottom half of the top 10% (5-10%)? Stanford Stats only seem to suggest that ~95% of all admits are in the top 10%, but that gives me no clue if most of those 95% are also in the top 5%.
Thanks guys.
The CDS indicates that fewer than 1/3 of the entering class submits rank. The minority that submits rank tends to have a high rank. Numbers are not available for the majority that does not submit rank, but I’d expect a substantial portion of this group to have well below top 1-2%, particularly among students attending selective HSs. Most admits in the decision thread on this site who listed rank were not in top 2%, but were close to this range.
