<p>how is class rank figure in college admissions
is it like most top colleges don't care beyond the top 10% or will it hurt if not in top 5%?</p>
<p>sorry for sounding so incoherent, but i'm deathly scared since i go to an average public high school (we send about 5 kids to really top schools per year) and i'm barely in top 10% of my 460-student class. My GPA is a 3.88 UW and 4 of my 5 Bs were from freshman year</p>
<p>It all depends on the school, so can’t give a blanket answer. You could look at a school’s common data set to see how a particular school factors the class rank and other parts of the application.</p>
<p>Depends on what school you want to go to. Selective colleges probably care about your rank, whereas state schools wouldn’t care as much, but it’d still matter a bit.</p>
<p>a lot of top schools say class rank is very important, but it’s hard to find an answer on how its used</p>
<p>A little all over the board, but my experience has been that class rank tends to matter more in scholarship money than in admittance itself.</p>
