How important is class rank?

<p>I had a 4.82 weighted gpa Junior year (4.0 unweighted), and my class rank went from 7th out of ~450 to 14th. Will this have a significant impact on college admissions? I don't understand how so many students pulled ahead because I took one unweighted art class.</p>

<p>It won’t make or break you. Having a higher class rank is always a nice plus, though.</p>
