What?

What does your school’s elite college acceptance rate have to do with it? Do you mean to say that 20% of your entire class got into an ivy? If that’s the case, then your school is very competitive, and you do not need to be in the top 10%.

Being in the top 10% is a very relative and vague assertion. For most publics, you’d have to be in the top TEN for ivys, whereas you can have a lower rank with top privates.
