<p>jwalsh~ you look good to me! i have kids (white females...uh,oh) at 2 of your schools...UVA and AU. don't worry about the rank thing. our public HS doesn't rank, as they say it hurts kids, since everyone is so close and good! (one of the newsweek, nationally recognized ones). write me back if i can help, as i have personal knowledge with these schools!</p>

<p>Everything looks really good, but your rank is very low. 60 out of 381? Thats not even top ten percent.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you may have a chance at all EXCEPT Cornell, Georgetown, J Hopkins, BC, and maybe even Lehigh.</p>

<p>I know low rank ..... I screwed up really bad sophomore year like all B-B+'s but this year i have all A's so i hope colleges realize that i had some personal problems sophomore year but that ive gone back to my old ways</p>

<p>jwalsh, did you read what i wrote? RANK IS NOT THE END ALL AND BE ALL!</p>

<p>hahaha i know thanks trust me compared to alot of people on this blog I am confident that with my grades/other things that ill get into a good school and from there success is measured on what u do with ur knowledge not how much u have</p>

<p>=D wow! your application looks awesome!</p>

<p>our school doesnt have class rank- im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. do you have to submit your class rank?</p>

<p>besides, you have senior year to think about your colleges. the colleges i was considering in junior year arent even close to the ones im applying to now. its great that you are taking this so seriously- i wish i had! So im trying to get my little sister all prepped up for colllege. But I’m just saying, keep your options open… make sure you visit the colleges that you are applying to- it made a HUGE difference in the colleges that im applying to now!</p>

<p>keep up your good grades in senior yr btw, they matter!
Good luck =D- chance me?</p>
