<p>Class rank matters. What is yours?</p>

3

<p>I don't know, 50-60% chance maybe.</p>

4

<p>Class Rank; 98/333 (Unweighted), 64/333 (weighted)</p>

5

<p>I think so. VG class rank, SAT M above 75th percentile. 65% chance.</p>

6

<p>^ hahaha, i can't help but laugh when percentages are given. no one knows if you will get in. the majority of people posting here are just as unsure of their chances as you are. then again, if your member name has the word "mensa" in it, you're cleary brilliant. psh</p>

<p>umm.. thanks</p>

<p>Strengths:
Ec's, SAT scores</p>

<p>Weaknesses:
GPA, Class Rank, Strength of Schedule (unless your school only offers like 3 or 4 AP's). Its definately worth applying to as you're within range.</p>

<p>You have a shot especially if you have an upward trend and your school doesn't offer that many AP classes.</p>

<p>Ok.. My schools only offers 5 AP's between junior and senior year. 2 of which I couldn't take becuase of my other AP's and band. I also have no trend in grades.</p>

<p>Really, you are a STRONG candidate for Wake. Class rank in upper quarter at tough school, vg SATS. Wake is a great school.</p>
