R124687: Tis true that I am a urm and legacy, but I think what made them overlook my rank was the fact that my school doesn’t weight classes like band and drama (which I took all four years). This hurts a lot of kids at my school, especially because GPAs in the top 10% are so close together. Thus, at least at my school, it’s not uncommon for people ranked lower than 10 to get into ivies.
