<p>my school doesnt give class rank untill final transcript, but I can confidently say top 5%. does that change anything? and I’ll chance back now!</p>
<p>Well, it’s hard to guarantee much at the top schools. Nonetheless, after re-reading your app a bit more closely I think I was a bit harsh on these. I probably mixed you up for someone else when chancing you :P</p>
<p>Wash U in St. Louis- 85%
Duke- 60%
Stanford- 30%
Berkeley- 85%
and even though I wont get in, HYPM- 12% at each</p>
<p>Wash U in St. Louis - In
Duke - In
Stanford - Great chance…maybe a mid reach?
Berkeley - In
HYPM - you have great shots at all of them!</p>
<p>Just write good essays and you’ll definitely get into some top schools. I think it might be easy to forget about the essay, and if you do that then I can see you getting a little lost among all the other applicants. But if your essays really stand out…then I’d say you’re gonna get into at least one of those reach schools.</p>
