<p>Good chances I would say</p>

<p>my school doesn’t provide class rank</p>

5

<p>I would say match, actually.
Call me crazy, but last year at our school we had one who got into Vanderbilt, and her stats weren’t nearly as excellent as yours. Your ECs are really great in my opinion, I think that you should be able to get in. Good luck. :)</p>

<p>I’d say at least 40% chances, great ECs, though it would help to know ur unweighted.</p>

His chances are much better than that. You underestimate how much easier early decision is.</p>

<p>I would say you are in.</p>

Good luck!</p>
