<p>Thanks lg08! I think those stats pretty much confirm the importance of rank, esp. with all those other things going for him (SAT, GPA, EC).</p>

<p>(i'm female)</p>

<p>yeah, rank seems important to georgetown.. though I took 33 classes overall and only had 6 B's (4 of them freshman year due to missed classes and stress when i had surgery) so I couldn't have done much better</p>

<p>Brenner, I don't have any "qualifications" per se. But I've been on this board for three years and have learned an awful lot in the process, did "total immersion" on college admissions for three years leading up to my D's application (typical obsessive Boomer parent in that regard), TheMom is a director-level employee at UCLA who doesn't work in admissions but tangetially gets a lot of UC-wide info, and one friend and one relative who work for high-profile private prep schools.</p>
