Quick clarification: I am Asian (Chinese) and attend a competitive high school in CA (but only 1-2 kids to a top 20 school a year). I have taken the most rigorous courseload (6 AP’s junior year), however I wanted an opinion on my gpa and class rank. At the end of junior year, I will have a 3.82 unweighted GPA with a class rank within the top 7.5 percent, ranked 17/230. Ignoring the idea of EC’s, Essays, etc, will this class rank get me through the first round of being deemed academically qualified at HYPSM caliber schools in the RD round? Note: SAT 1>2300 and two SAT II’s of 780+ Thanks in advance!
