<p>I think you'll get in...your class rank doesn't help, but your APs and stadardized tests are a major plus. As long as you have a good essay/teacher recs. then you should make it. :)</p>

<p>I think you have a better shot than most non-top-ten percenters at getting in. Good luck.</p>

<p>you'll probably get in - btw hope is still alive for people who are not in the top 10%... my friend was in the top 25% at my school and got in a couple of weeks after he applied... well, he got a 1600 SAT, so i guess that helped</p>
