<p>I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You have an entire year to improve your rank which is still very impressive. Thats top 10% if you’re in a public school, so clearly auto acceptance. I wish my brother who will start college the same time as you, was as dedicated and an impressive applicant like you.</p>

<p>Great chance…they love high SATs…I’m sure you’ll probably jump up a few ranks by then so you have nothing to worry about…</p>

<p>TMT90: Thanks! </p>

<p>I Hope UT: Unfortunately, I don’t think that my rank will be going up. I’m actually afraid that it may drop one or two spots. How precarious of a position do you think that’ll put me in?</p>

<p>Well you’re around 5-6% so that’s pretty good. Don’t let it drop too much though…I have a friend who got into bhp at 6% and 2200ish SATs</p>

<p>You’ll have a good shot but yeah try and improve your rank and get into the top 5%</p>
