<p>Is it true that class rank is very important? As long as the student is in Top 10%, he/she is safe, right? (I hope) Of course I know that top 10% won't help, but is it going to hurt? I mean....the student is not in like Top 1 or 3 %, he/she is more like in Top 7 or 9 %.</p>
<p>Top 10% if it’s an elite high school would keep you in the running, but from move average high schools a lot higher will be expected at top colleges. At mid level ivies, about 40% are val or sal.</p>
