<p>UW does not require you to disclose your Class Rank. If it is already on your transcript, is that something the school can remove before it is submitted for your application? Concentrate on writing sincere, heartfelt essays, when the writing prompts are released in August.</p>

<p>Wow, that’s a relief. I really hope they can because this is my top choice. Thank you!</p>

<p>Only unweighted grades as well. Our HS does not weight grades so taking/not taking AP classes or Honors versions did not influence class rank. Your gpa and test scores are what count, as well as class rigor compared to that available to you (eg students are not penalized for not taking AP courses if none are offered).</p>
