<p>I heard UNC does not put any consideration into class rank, but they still list statistics relative to rank on their "class profile's"...</p>
<p>Anyone else wondering the same thing?</p>
<p>According to CollegeBoard (SAT) and CollegeData sites, the UNC profile notes Class Rank as being “Very Important” in the admission decision. See the links below:</p>

<p>I spoke to an admissions officer–she said they do look but it’s not important.</p>
<p>hmm alright thanks! this wait is driving me crazy!</p>
<p>When I was at UNC for the tours, either the brochures or the admissions officers (I can’t remember which, possibly both!) made the statement that either 1 in 5 (or 1 in 6, it’s been over a year since that tour haha) of the admitted students at the university are either the valedictorian or salutatorian of their high school classes. </p>
<p>After boasting such statistics, I have to assume that it’s something they care about. Clearly it’s something they keep track of.</p>
<p>Yeah that was the point I was making. At the tour I attended, the information guides said that class rank isn’t considered- even mentioned that they rejected more valedictorians than they accepted the previous year; however, there are still statistics regarding class rank listed on the undergraduate admissions website.</p>
