<p>haha I think we all want to know. My opinion is that it does is given some weight, but not much at all. I don’t think they’d think you amazing if you were ticked as “Top 1%” compared to someone ticked as “Top 10%” because it is all really objective and teachers interpret it differently. One teacher may view “leadership” as someone with 4 officer posiitons and say “Top 1%” and another teacher may measure this according to level of involvement rather than position and say “Top 10%”. I think it is the letter in itself that matters more, and the ticking box is more of a range (above average or below average). At least I hope so.</p>
