<p>Just curious if first semester (senior) grades helped/did nothing to/killed your class ranking. </p>
<p>My first semester grades actually boosted my rank (top 4% to top 2%), so I was pleasantly surprised. :)</p>
<p>I went from 3/200 to 2/200. Hopefully with second semester grades I will be able to steal the number one spot.</p>
<p>Almost put me from 2 to 3. But we contested it because of a course discrepancy and now I'm 2. I'm happy!</p>
<p>uhhh...</p>
<p>you guys realize that there's almost NO difference between 2 and 3, right?</p>
<p>right?</p>
<p>But a 2 puts you just that much closer to a 1!</p>
<p>my school doesnt recalculate rank till the end of 3rd quarter which is one of the dumber things ive ever heard, but i would guess i moved up from 38/449 to about 30-32/449</p>
<p>Are you kidding? Name & picture in local newspaper vs. no name & picture! Special title ("sal") vs. no special title! There's your difference!!! ^_^</p>
<p>No, I know there's not too much of a difference at many schools, but I worked really hard for it--no Bs on a quarterly report card, ever--and I wanted that title and picture and name, darn it. 6 years I worked for it.</p>
<p>I got one B, so I'm not sure where that puts me.</p>
<p>I'll find out in a week or two...</p>
<p>It brought me up from a 4.21 (second decile) to a 4.29 (first decile) weighted and 3.88 (second decile) to 3.89 (first decile) unweighted. We don't do actual ranks. My semester gpa was 4.75 though because I had 3 AP courses.</p>
<p>Erm, my school doesnt' calculate ranks till January of the senior year, so I have no idea.</p>
<p>I'm 10/140.</p>
<p>Went up from 33/702 to 19/702 (10th-12th) & 85/702 to 60/702 (9th-12th)</p>
<p>My GPA went up, the class size was 200 less than last year's, but my rank stayed the same as last year.. #3 (for class of '08)..but for class of '07 I'm ranked #1... (I'm graduating early..)</p>
<p>Think I dropped out of the top 5%. Oh freakin' well.</p>
<p>blehh, i got a B in Eng. I should've worked harder: / it's really unfair how I'm doing better my second semester in that class.</p>
<p>i movedup from 3/598 to 2/598. its so stupid because we have no val or sal at our school ,the paretns thought "it brought the other kids down" by giving labels. oh well.</p>
<p>yeah...................................i got into the top 15%, not exactly break the top 10 like you guys...</p>
<p>Ameer, too bad there is no sal at your school, but congrats anyway.</p>
<p>haha I fell one spot, to pull me out of the top 1%. (Damn sci. teacher, lol)
it's all good. No School, not even HYPSM would revoke admissions offers if you feel back less than 5% during senior year. (I hope, lol)</p>
