<p>I think you have a good chance. Even though your class rank is pretty low, your AP and SAT score shows that your school must be tough.</p>

<p>bump.......................</p>

4

<p>what type of school do you go to? your gpa is pretty high to only be in the top 20%</p>

5

<p>its a small public school. approx 30th ranked public in NJ so not really phenomenal, but we usually send a few kids to top schools. for some reason, the class this year is extremely successful. For just the early round of apps we have:</p>

<p>3 going to princeton
2 going to columbia
1 going to cornell
1 accepted to MIT
1 going to NYU Stern
1 accepted to Georgetown</p>

<p>among others. This is in a class of only 115 students.</p>

<p>So i guess its not so much that my school is hard but my grade is extremely competitive.</p>

<p>also, we dont actually rank but im estimating with 20%. its probably more like 16 or 17 but i really have no idea. in a small calss one person can make a big percent difference</p>

6

<p>u have a great shot u have good grades, ecs and sat.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, you have a pretty good chance. Your grades, EC's, and test scores are good. All those are more important than class rank.</p>
