Hofstra 4+4 BSMD requirement says rank in the top 10% of the graduating class. You may fit into this if you are at 20/246 class rank.
University of Rochester BSMD (REMS) says top 3% of the graduating class (they said you might be a good fit). You can still apply even if you aren’t in the top 3%.
You need to check in to all interested colleges’ individual program reqs to understand whether your final rank fits into their avg intake student’s rank, or you can take a chance.
IMO, instead of worrying about your class rank, I suggest focusing on your course work, getting good grades, and targeting to get a 1550+ SAT or 35+ ACT score, then you are in the game for T20s and BSMDs. Several individuals have overcome the lag in GPA, class rank, and stats with strong ECs, and essays and some lucky ones got into T20s and competitive BSMDs too. Good luck.
