<p>I go to a Newsweek Public Elite high school where all the classes are taught at a college level (think Stuyvesant, Bronx Sci, etc). Because of the small class size and super competitive application process, we have no class ranking. My number one top choice is Cornell, and I have a few safeties in mind (UIUC, UMadison, Purude), but I’m not sure where else to be applying. Help!</p>
