<p>Quintamonious, thanks for chancing me. I think that you have an excellent chance at Dartmouth, Columbia, and U Penn; not as strong of a chance at HPY, but if you did well in the Siemens competition, that would help at those, too. I have heard and read that class rank is much less important now than it used to be. This is because many fine high schools are no longing ranking their students (they usually put this on the high school profile). I think it is crazy that your school still ranks, because if there are 30 valedictorians (4.0, unweighted), then of course they will make up the “top 10%” that the selective colleges have traditionally wanted to see. You have a great GPA and good EC’s. Good luck on the Siemens!</p>
