Help! I’m top 6.1% of my class. Would this round to top 6% or top 7%?

I’m officially ranked 40 out of 655 students and after calculating my class percentage on my own and it seems as though I’m top 6.1% of my class. One of the colleges in which im applying only take the top 6% as auto admit. I had previously asked my counselors to tell me if I’m either ranked top 6% or top 7% and they said they didn’t know and that only the colleges figure this out. However, I need to put whether or not I’m top 6% in my college application before I turn it in. I personally believe that I am top 7% since I didn’t make the exact 6% mark but I just want to make sure before putting that onto my application.

You must be talking about UT. Unfortunately, you would not be top 6%. You’d be top 7% and outside of the auto admit. Getting in as a review candidate is tough, but a few do get in. Good luck!

It’s probably 7%, but I wouldn’t assume anything. I would advise my child to call the school to clarify.

Class rank, like GPAs are what they are. You are top 6.1%, not top 6%. Ask your GC what this means for you in terms of auto admittance.
