Hey, so my school doesn’t have official rankings, but our guidance counselor meets with us privately and tells us a percentage rank. My percentage rank is top 5% but the common app only goes up to top 10%. Should I just put my school is nonranking or do I put top 10%?
i would put top 10 percent… it sounds better than non ranking although it probably wont have too much of a difference.
Hmm that’s true. Idk because in my school the difference between top 10% and top 5% is hugeee and I just didn’t want that to hurt my chances. But then again, there is no top 5% option so college should understand that top 10% could mean ranked 3rd in your class or 30th. Thanks!
