<p>at schools like HYPS is top 10.18% considered to be in the top 10% of the class? It is only one away.</p>
<p>No. The line gets drawn at 10%.</p>
<p>A lot of schools don't officially rank. I think this occurs more frequently at schools where a large portion of the college-geared population is of high academic performance (like mine). Ask your school. If they say they don't officially rank (some only give approximate ranks to students who request them, unofficially), don't put down anything and it will be to your advantage, as long as your grades are the type that would end up in the top 10% elsewhere.</p>
