Top schools only accept 10%ers?

<p>If you are talking about Brown and talking to the coach then don’t worry so much. For all the schools, I don’t think it is off enough to impact anything. Close enough to be comfortable. My daughter’s school didn’t rank. I really had no idea her rank. They did have a Val, so what does that mean?</p>

<p>Apply to all those schools if you don’t mind the fee and the time. You are in the zone. Like I said, I don’t know if mine was top 10%, I suspect just off like you because of a highly ranked class) but she did choose a hard schedule, sacrificed electives for 2 extra science years in an ec, great gpa, top SAT’s, fantastic lor’s from the teachers who really valued her, and Ec’s off the hook. Just be an interesting, engaged applicant.</p>

<p>Off course have your safe and fallback schools too. Best luck.</p>
