Is top 33rd percentile class rank bad? [MS resident, 3.73 GPA, need FA/scholarships, CS and business]

Add WUSTL, Lehigh,Emory and Case Western as easier. Wake Forest may be another. Run their NPCs NPCs. W&L is worth a gander too. I imagine MSU will fit you better than Ole Miss.

Bama likely doesn’t work for you without a 32 ACT but at 30 you can try. No superscore on Bama merit (I believe). They give some kids extra money. It will be more than NU by maybe $3-5k a year. UAH will be price competitive now (better with an 32) and may be a better social fit than Bama judging by your list.

If you get 33, you might consider FSU and hope for an out of state waiver.
