<p>"without help from coaches, you're looking at a likely rejection with a below average rank and average SAT/GPA"
But there is no actual clas rank, my consulor just gave me a number to get me to stop bugging her, no one actually knows since my school does not give them, so the colleges will not see that</p>
<p>"A QB from my HS (from my freshman year) got into Harvard for his football. He was good, but not that great. He probably had decent scores/stats. Last I heard, he isn't even on the Harvard Football team roster. Weird."</p>
<p>Well was he recruited by the coaches or did they just like the football on his application? If he was recruited by the coaches and then quit they must have been ****ed</p>
<p>The colleges will see what the counselor gives them. It will either be rank, decile, or quartile. Along with that will be "how many other students hold this rank?" Believe it or not, that information will be provided.</p>
