How was your son/daughter’s school in terms of rigorousness? Like was it difficult for him/her to keep an A which resulted in her getting a 3.75? I have a 4.0 GPA and high SAT 2320 but low class rank (top 11~20%). I’ve already applied to many of my “reach” schools ivies+stanford+washu+swarthmore+UChicago+duke+Williams+amherst+bowdoin+middlebury+jhu+northwestern+vandy+rice+Georgetown+emory…
I felt like most of my application was strong (Test scores+EC’s+somewhat prestigious awards etc) except my class rank (I was not within top 10% of my class. However, my school reports rank in quintiles, so I was reported as “top quintile”). Should I not expect to get into any of these “reach” schools? I’m honestly hoping for at least one!
