@anon145 Based on Naviance, I fall right around the outer area of accepted applicants. I think having a low GPA/class rank at my school is not necessarily the same as having it at other schools because I attend a top 15 public school in the state, so the competitiveness may be considered. FWIW, about half of the applicants from my school get accepted. Also, my class rank as of now is below the 50th percentile (189/~360) but that lackluster rank can be kind of attributed to low grades in the 4 AP classes I took this year. Do you think getting Cs in these classes will be considered less because of me taking 4 APs in a semester? I was a straight A-B student (only 3 Bs leading up to junior year) until junior year, where I got two Cs, one B, and one A, and I’ll likely get two As and two Bs this semester. This should bring me back into the top 33% of my class (I was 5th in the class in sophomore year) and I was wondering if you think that that would be at least a moderately competitive application now that I have given some more information about my school and my grades/class rank.
