<p>How competitive is your public school? Do you think you're top 10?</p>

3

<p>yeah, i'm probably top decile... which would be 6.7 kids in this case</p>

<p>You have a decent chance (you never know with Ivies). Founding the ultimate frisbee team (and then actually going to a major tournament) is probably your hook, and a good one at that.</p>

<p>Hmmmm...I hope you are planning to be an art history major.</p>
