<p>ur chances are quite good! but of course (as you probably heard hundreds of times) princeton, stanford, harvard, yale, chicago are reaches for everyone but u def stand a good chance</p>

3

<p>The first 5 are reaches for nearly all applicants. You’ll probably get into the others. </p>

4

<p>Thank you!! :slight_smile: Anyone else? Will accept word vomit and mundane…</p>

5

<p>Its impossible to chance for ivies. The rest you have a good chance for.</p>

6

<p>National AP scholar indicates you’ve got an excellent track record on AP exams- I’d say that is relatively unusual fora junior to have that - especially if you’ve been getting fives on many of these tests. Assuming your essays are strong and you interview well, I’d expect you to get into at least one of the first five, and probably more than one.</p>

<p>What is “National President” and “student representative” ???</p>

8

<p>@thegrant‌ National president means that I’m the leader (tippy-top) of the nationwide organization. Student Representative means that I represent all of the students in my district during school board meetings, and that my say counts during decisions that impact the district</p>

9

<p>@Gallory‌ oh damn… your chances are great for all of them, i would suggest maybe applying to more ivies cause your a really strong applicant good luck! </p>

10

<p>@thegrant‌ Thank you! </p>

<p>Will my ranking hinder my chances? It’s the thing that worries me the most…</p>

11

<p>@Gallory‌ honestly, I believe that ranking only REALLY matters when applying to Dartmouth (valedictorians and salutatorians make up about half of the applicants that get accepted) ---- Rankings are still technically ‘important’ – but not nearly as much as you think (and you have absolutely nothing to worry about cause ur #11 lol) </p>

12

<p>@Gallory‌ honestly you’re rank is really good. You have nothing to worry about, you’re still in the top ten percent.</p>

<p>Thanks! Glad to see that my hard work <em>might</em> just pay off. Bump!</p>
