Class ranking -screwed?

Applying to College
1

<p>So up until the end of my junior year (the class ranking I turned in for apps),
My Class ranking was 1/475
The thing is, our school is weird and has like 30 Valedictorians.
All the valectorian's class rankings are 1 but then if there are 30 Valedictorians, the Saludictorian automatically has a class ranking of a 31. </p>

<p>Stupid, I know</p>

<p>So for my mid year report, now my ranking is a 37/475 because I made B's. It just looks SO bad just because we have so many valedictorians.</p>

<p>I dont really know what I should do because I dont want colleges to think that I totaally slacked off because I didnt. I got a B in Calc AP and AP Economics.</p>

<p>The thing is , I dont think my GPA changed much </p>

<p>ugh what do you think</p>

<p>I am sure colleges would know about grade inflation in most schools. If not, you will need to tell the colleges about the situation. I think the best ideal method would be asking you counselor to explain your school’s ranking situation.</p>

<p>As long as your counselor knows you at least a bit, this would work well.</p>

3

<p>Your school is not weird, many have lots of vals. Colleges know this about certain high schools.</p>

4

<p>As long as you’re in the top tenth percentile, you’re fine. Relax.</p>

<p>yeah i guess ill just talk to the counselor? I dont really care that Im not valedictorian but i just dont want them to think I slacked off lol</p>

<p>Technically, the 31st guy wouldn’t be salutatorian, no? In fact, you guys don’t even have a sal. Just some noob ranked 31st. Oh well, better than some noob ranked 37th. Just kidding. You’ll be fine.</p>

7

<p>yeah technically we do but we dont lol if my school wasnt ■■■■■■■■, the saludictorian should be a 2 and i should be like a 3 but no ugh whaterr</p>

<p>either have your counselor explain the utterly stupid class rank system at your school in his/her counselor rec…</p>

<p>or even if you don’t, you’ll still be fine.</p>
