<p>I’m not sure when you say class rank… i don’t really know what you mean, I’m 8/th best GPA on 45 students… (horrible, i know), I’m usually in the top ten though. </p>
<p>And also, you don’t get to choose your classes here, so I’m doing practically everything, Biology, chemistry, physics, math and English, but also social studies, spanish, french, creole (haitian native language) economy, sport education (or something like that, i don’t really know how to translate it 
) french and haitian litterature, art history and geology. Now i don’t know how strong they are, compared to the american system, but most of the kids who had my grades and even lower in haiti are doing pretty great in the states.So i guess its not a really different program. Besides, there’s no advanced placement in my school.
And the GPA is out of 4 by the way.</p>
<p>I am willing to work hard, but i know that grades arent enough, so i was just wondering what more i could do to be a better candidate :)</p>
