My class rank it 18 out of 178 . However to be in the top ten percent you have to be up to the 17.8 in rank. Can it round up to 18 because of the .8 ?
I would say no, don’t round up. How is it reported by your HS?
@happy1 what do you mean by reported by my high school
At my D’s HS, the top 10% was a hard cut off so you would have missed it by one person. Talk to your guidance counselor to see how your rank is going to be reported. You need to make sure your application is consistent with what you GC will report.
Where are you reporting this and what are the options?
My D’s HS would have listed “18/178” on the transcript- there is no percentage list.
18/178 is 10.1%. If you’re free form entering a rank, or selecting from options that include “x-10%”, or “top 10%”, 10% is proper rounding, IMO, unless there are specific instructions to truncate.
