<p>My high school bases class rank off of unweighted GPA, and even though I am taking the most AP and honors classes possible AND have an UW GPA of 3.86, I only have a class rank in top 20%. Many students in the top 10% take all regular classes. Will Ivy-type colleges take this into account when viewing my application?</p>
<p>Yours is not the only school that does this. Yes, schools take that into account. Rank is only a small piece of the equation, particularly at top schools like the Ivy league</p>
