<p>Hey guys, I just was wondering if class rank matters after the first semester of senior year. I am currently ranked 4th in my class, but I am only taking 6 AP classes next year (senior year), while the 5th ranked student is taking 7. He MAY pass me in class rank after first semester.</p>
<p>Does class rank matter after first semester, or is my current class rank (at the end of junior year) the rank that will be sent to colleges?</p>
<p>And while I'm at it, what about GPA? does GPA matter after first semester as well?, because I know we send applications in November/December, so first semester won't even be over. </p>
<p>Any opinions will be appreciated.</p>
