<p>How much emphasis does Stanford put on Class Rank? If the rest of your app is pretty decent, will a rank of 10-15 hurt?</p>
<p>depends out of how many people. if its >200 people, then i think you're okay. if it's, say 60 people at a small public school in the middle of nowhere, then it might.</p>
<p>i was 1/309
rejected.</p>
<p>my counselor called them. Whether you are 1st or 4th, it doesn't really matter. Once you are in through the academic filter, its all up to the consistency and achievements of a few concentrated activities.</p>
<p>I'm applying as 45/400... (though the rank is unweighted; W is probably around 15). Honestly, if they see that you are competent academically, it shouldn't weigh as much as people say it does. Stanford is really looking for the right person , not for perfect grades/scores (as has been discussed thousands of times).</p>
