<p>Hey... my rank is 280 / 923 with a 87.56 average (weighted). Is this a bad rank?</p>
<p>Don't think of it as "bad" - think instead of schools it will match. For top schools like Yale and Harvard, where almost everyone in the class is in the top 10%, then it's not a match. Check out USNWR for percentages of kids in the top 10% of first tier schools and top 25% of 2nd tier schools to find some reasonable matches. And remember that other things than rank are also considered. An 87 WEIGHTED is not competitive for top schools, either, but there are still hundreds of schools that would be glad to have you.</p>
