<p>bump.</p>

<p>and could I get more than the “URM, blah, blah” stuff. Like some suggestions or things I could do?</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>make sure your counselor WRITES your estimated rank on the Secondary School Report</p>

<p>oh yeah they use some kind of weird system, but it’s not “class ranking” per se,
thanks</p>

<p>Your counselor may put the top percentile your in (i.e. top 5%, 10%, etc… which, if you’re part of the top 3 in your class, I’m guessing your percentile is well within top 5%)</p>
