<p>Throughout my junior, year (i am a rising senior) i have been number 3 in my class out of 70o (maybe a little more) students.
After this year was over, i ended with my first B, the only B i will have on my transcript.
My class rank dropped to 5/700
I am taking a summer comm college course which will most likely make me 4 by earlyaction time.
Do you think colleges will look at the difference in a bad way, instead of being three i am 4?
I am taking another ap online, which will most likely make me number 2 sal of my class, but it will happen after regular decision jan 1.
do you think itll make a difference?</p>
<p>All I can say is that you BETTER be a troll, because honestly the difference between 3 and 4 is soooooo outrageously trivial it makes me crazy. They are both excellent ranks, and either way you're in the top 1%, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>looooooooool</p>
<p>I was 8 going into last year. I got a B in Calc BC, and dropped to 12. The spring semester I got all As, and then dropped to 14. It's because of band and debate. Still top 5%, class of 450.</p>
<p>I have a half credit from a non honors precalc course i still need to add in, and i will be taking Spanish at a local college. Those credits might raise my GPA a little. But I'm still stuck with 2 blocks of non honors classes next year. :(</p>
<p>you are perfectly fine btw. still very nice class rank</p>
<p>i feel bad for students in schools that include classes like debate and band for class rank</p>
<p>It discourages me from trying other classes. Although trying to take a rigorous schedule does that on its own, and nobody, including me, has an issue. </p>
<p>What I hate is seeing the drunkards taking their honors math classes and their easy non AP science honors classes and getting a higher GPA than me. Even though they are two years behind in math. Maybe class rank should have SAT or ACT figured into it aswell. haha</p>
<p>I think that being in the top band should warrant an honors credit. It's more work at a higher level. </p>
<p>We can take debate honors for the 5.0. But only once. And we are forced to take it every year after, which means higher workload, but without the 5.0.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. It's trivial.</p>
