<p>A knockout essay should get you in. Also depends on your class rank.</p>

[Striden]

<p>Thx for the reply. I think my essay is good. = )
But my class is unranked. If it was I'd be 10%- 15%.</p>

<p>I think you should be thankful that it's unranked then, haha.</p>

<p>Thx, What about some other schools? I was looking at Cornell UPenn, and maybe Brown. Would those all be reaches? And would William and Mary be a good fall back?
Heh, and sry to ask so many questions, but is Duke's Pratt school much harder to get into with my stats?</p>

<p>Also I forgot: EC also
Congressional Award, recieved gold medal
