<p>Isn't it funny that everyone posting about chances attends either a public high school ranked first/second in the galaxy/nation/state or an extremely competitive private school?</p>
<p>Let's face it, many of us attend just plain ol' high skools, better than Podunk High but certainly not in the top ten nationwide. So stop using your high school's arbitrary ranking to justify your lack of 4.0/lack of valedictorian status/4.0/valedictorian status.</p>
<p>I'll be the first to admit that my school SUX. It doesn't take too much effort to get all A's, or at least not as much as some people on here put in. Most people slack off way too much, so then teachers go easy on them and inflate their grades as well as everybody elses. I wish I had a harder school.</p>
