Class Rank Application Question

Officially, my school does not report class rank. However, they do keep track of it and will tell you what rank you are for Val and Sal purposes. I know that I currently rank 2 out of 68 but can/should I report that on Common App even though my school doesn’t release it?

You can, but you may want to have your counselor make a note of it on your report that they send in.

While you can, as in you are physically able to, you shouldn’t. The app should match your transcript. If the school does not report rank, then the school does not report rank, and it is highly unlikely that the GC will make an exception for you.

FWIW, more than half of US HS’s do not rank. The fact that your school does not is not a deal breaker.

Thanks. My GPA and transcript should imply I’m at the top of my class but class rank is a nice affirmation (though likely unnecessary).
