Application Discrepancies (CommonApp)

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hey everyone!

I was just wondering if my classmate and I are applying to the same school (ex: NYU) and I report my school rank but she doesn’t realize we have a rank, and puts “none” (as if we don’t rank at my school)–will I be scrutinized and this discrepancy carefully examined?

I live in a small rural town, and a lot of the students in my area couldn’t be bothered to track our guidance councilors down and fish for important information (it isn’t handed to us unless we ask), ESPECIALLY at a time like this.
Just wondering!

Rank will be reported in the guidance counselor’s report that accompanies the transcript and school report.

Ranks are generally printed on the official transcript. And the school profile the guidance counselor sends to the college explains how they calculate it.
