<p>Two posters above is wrong. I was #7/6 out of 236 in my class at a noncompetitive high school with a 3.88 UW, and a 4.23 W GPA and was admitted to University of Chicago. Another girl from my school was admitted to Stanford, but she was a Native American. Your high school doesn’t matter much as long as you are in the top 10%, but better if top 5% though.</p>
