A. I think putting the ivies on there with a class rank of 89 is very ambitious, yes. The ivies can take the best of the best, so even if a very competitive school they might take one person. And frankly, that person isn't going to be number 89 in the class - almost certainly they'll be in the top 10. They want the best of the best, and you're not there. Sorry. But you probably have a good shot at the other schools, or most of them anyway (Stanford is as good as an ivy; only accepts 10% of applicants).
