<p>My school didnt even rank, if they did i would be like 25/180. rank don't mean s**t, they don't care about other poeple, they care about you. 97 is solid anywhere, and since they can't meet everyone at your school or all your teachers they have to assume your 97 is the same as mine or anyone elses. if you show even the slightest amount of interest. i.e possible visit, or a couple emails youre golden. peace</p>

<p>You're complaining about being top 15%? That's not going to kill you.</p>

<p>yea, the two posts above are right. Class rank doesn't take into account of the rigor of your courses compare to others (i.e. same GPAs but hard vs easy sched.)
As long as anywhere btw top 10-15%, not a problem.</p>
