<p>Is that an official rank? Because if that is, even your URM status won’t help you much. If it’s an unofficial rank, I would say you have a very good chance.</p>

<p>P.S I know what Uruguay is :S</p>

3

<p>It’s official but wouldn’t the fact that it is unweighted help? We have a very weak class, with many not challenging themselves with APs. Compared to last years class I would definitely be top 10</p>

<p>And thank you for acknowledging Uruguay!</p>

<p>Because it’s official, they would have to say that an additional .5% of their students are out of Top 10… they don’t like that… and for Wharton especially, that’s really gonna hurt… I mean, good luck, I also have a low GPA (school doesn’t rank, thank god!) so I know how you feel.</p>
