<p>This is kinda funny and a little weird, but I would say that you probably have a slight edge over her for TOP schools such as Cornell, Harvard and Dartmouth. Your GPA is definitely low for these three, but your extremely strong SATs could compensate for Cornell (doubtful on Dartmouth and Harvard). Your ethnicity also will help you, more so with Brandeis and BC. I don’t really think you should worry about her, though, as you could both end up at most of these schools.</p>

<p>So, there’s not a <em>significant</em> delta, right? I always thought she had the advantage 'cause of her rank and such…</p>

<p>Your more rigorous course load helps you a lot</p>
