<p>I have two questions about Penn:
1) How important is class rank? According to Penn's Common Data Set, class rank is only "important" compared to others, such as GPA and Rigor. If rank is UW, and people take fluff courses to pad their GPAs, is a little slack provided (so this is where rigor comes into play)?
2) Are AP scores used in admissions? If not, is it detrimental to leave the self report section on common app blank for bad scores, given all else on the app is fine?</p>
<p>-Thanks</p>
