    what school do you go to that you have a 4.3 GPA and your class rank is 35 out of 93. At my school you'd be valedictorian lol. anyways...here's what there school wants according to the princetonreview

    Admissions

    Average GPA: 3.89

    Freshmen Academic Profile

    SAT - Critical Reading Middle 50%: 670-770

    SAT - Math Middle 50%: 650-760

    TPR Projected Range SAT Writing: 710-770

    ACT Composite Midldle 50%: 28-33

    Average High School GPA: 3.89

    Students in top 10% of HS class: 80%

    Students in top 50% of HS class: 100%

    Students from Public School: 63%

    Basis for candidate selection

    Very Important Factors:

    Secondary school record

    Recommendations

    Essays

    Character/personal qualities

    Talent/ability

    Important Factors:

    Class rank

    Extracurricular activities

    Volunteer work

    Freshman Admission Statistics

    Total applicants who are accepted: 38%

    Total of accepted students who enroll: 34%

    -atleast there class rank is not one of there VERY important factors that they consider. Your GPA is way above what there average students have and obviously you are coming from a very tough high school so they will definitely realize that. I think you have a really good shot at it.

    Good Luck

    I hope the SAT score is out of 1600, not 2400, but even so, with your current class rank, unless you went to an extremely competitive prep school what that record says is that the grading at your high schol was too easy and everyone did well, so just ignore the GPA.
