[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the data on Naviance to see the fraction of the recent classes at each tier (hypsm, other ivies, then the rest of Usnwr t30 plus 4 slacs). Try to figure out where in the class DC ranks. (This is hard to do now without class ranking data but you need to make a guesstimate.) This will give you a more realistic estimate of likely outcomes than either “it’s impossible” or “I’m at ___, I’ll get in.”[/quote] Just keep in mind some of those admits will be athletes, URM, and legacy [/quote] We’ve been over this already. The fraction of a Big 3 class that’s good enough to get recruited is very small. (Hint — if you’re good enough to get recruited, then you’re dominating your current level of competition.) Legacy isn’t worth very much. URM you can probably figure out. Just adjust your estimate of your class rank to account for this. [/quote]
