<p>Any ideas guys?
Don't be afraid to be honest.</p>

<p>.....this should be in the WHAT ARE MY CHANCES section. Just maybe.</p>

4

<p>Oh sorry. I didn't know there was one.</p>

<p>Ok...hmm, guess ill be the first person to actually chance you.
Well, you have a good shot for all of the schools (except Harvard. But even then you have a reasonable chance) Wash U is a really good school. So if you're really considering it, (im applying there too by the way) I only live 10 min away from it and I spend a lot of time on campus, so i could answer any questions you might have.</p>

<p>Check the common data sets. For meaningful merit you will need to have all stats near the top of the pool, at least above their 75th percentile numbers.</p>

<p>Are you the only val of your class? Are you retaking SATs?</p>

<p>Whoops, saw the rank. Harvard would be VERY tough.</p>

<p>My school is kind of ridiculous. In order to be valedictorian, you have to 1-be in band and 2-never take any sports. If I took my GPA to any other school in my Urban district I would be valedictorian by a .2 margin. Ridiculous. But to answer your question no, I won't be retaking the SAT, its too late for me. </p>

<p>Any ideas on that 75% range?</p>

<p>Rough idea, at Harvard it's about 1580 (it may even be 1600 last year) and I'm guessing 1550 at WAshU. Top of class for both.</p>
