What are my odds of getting accepted (for neuroscience)??

<p>*GPA: 3.83
*Class Rank: 40 of 149
*Honors Classes Completed: 7
*Summer College Classes Completed: 2
*Leadership Positions held: Captain of the Mock Trial Team and Captain of the JV tennis team
*300 Hours of Community Service Completed</p>

<p>so....any opinions?? please give suggestions of what would make me a stronger applicant if you can</p>

<p>Unless your high school is one of the most competitive in the nation, your class rank makes acceptance highly unlikely.</p>

<p>Really??? Even though everything else is pretty good, their eyes are gonna be fixed on that (My school is number 5 in country, 47 in the state, and top 1600 in the nation)? And what if I got astronomical sat scores??</p>

<p>The class rank will be detrimental to your application. A Top 1600 high school in the nation is not necessarily one of the most competitive in the nation. Top 100 schools in the nation would probably be most competitive. Do you already have SAT scores?</p>

<p>No, but I study hard for it everyday. So, would a score of 2100 or above help me out a lot?</p>
