<p>My class is very good academically, the 20th ranked student has a 94 gpa and the third ranked student has a 99. How academic are your graduating classes?</p>
<p>The top 10 people all have gpa (weighted) above 100. If you have lower than a 95, chances are that you're not in the top 10%.</p>
<p>(we have a class of 700)</p>
<p>I'm 35th and I have a 96 GPA. I hate it. At least I'm top 20% though (class of 200).</p>
<p>to be in the top 10 in my school you will have needed to have taken at least 10 APs by the end of junior year, then an additional 6-7 in senior year.</p>
<p>Lawl we have like 30 4.0s. In a class of 333.</p>
<p>Our grading system is weird.</p>
<p>oh boy you kids must feel special huh?</p>
<p>My school doesn't rank.
I consider that a very good thing. =]</p>
<p>My school, if you have at least 5 APs by the end of your junior year, you are in the top ten. I'll have 7 by the end so I'll move from 4th to either second or maybe even first. I went from 12th to 6th last year and over the summer I moved from 6th to 4th by finishing one online half-credit course. It's easy to move up in my class. It's not very competitive. As long as you make nothing below a C and take a couple of APs and honors, you are in the top 20 no problem. And that's in a class of 400.</p>
<p>well...let's just say you cannot be in the top 50% without taking at least one honors class...and then taking at least half honors = top 20%, all honors = top 10% all honors + honors electives = top 5%</p>
<p>We don't rank, although my counselor says that I'm easily in the top 5 or so.</p>
<p>I do know that a couple of years back a person with a 4.32 managed to come out 11th in terms of ranking (secret rankings omg?), and by the end of senior year I should have 4.4x or so, so I'll probably be pretty high up...</p>
<p>I think we rank, but they don't offer the information.</p>
<p>That being said, there are six people in my grade with near the same weighted GPA (~4.1), and 11 unweighted (4.0). Everyone who took two AP classes as juniors is the top six, with minor variances based on how many they took periods didn't count toward the overall GPA. Two people only took one AP class, and three didn't take any.</p>
<p>We only have 4 AP classes, so its hard to differentiate.</p>
<p>We don't rank, but I'd be number 1 if we did.</p>
<p>Many of our top ten are 95+; I don't know 2009 rankings, but last year, the tenth rated was a 95.6. My class is very competitive, someone with a 2100 SAT score is only ranked 15. Worst yet, we have no weighted grading system, so it is very easy for students who have taken one or no honours classes to be ranked in the top decile.</p>
<p>We have like 15 4.0's going into senior year in a class of 750. Argh, half of them take easy classes to "preserve" the 4.0</p>
<p>1st 4.8
2nd 4.2
3rd 4.15</p>
<p>the top 50 in my school have a weighted average of 100+.</p>
<p>^ That is insane. Hope my class this year doesn't do this...</p>
<p>When do you guys rank? </p>
<p>At my school, we don't get our rankings until the October of senior year. Yeah, people calculate their GPAs and discuss, but no one really know for sure how the rankings come out.</p>
<p>The grading was so intense at my school that they edited my transcript to give me an inaccurate GPA so I wouldn't be the graduating salutatorian.</p>
<p>Good times.</p>
<p>lol Out of 500, as i said, top 50 have 100+ weighted. Top 10%. It's tough at our school. We get rankings in Junior year but we kinda already know who's 1 and who's 2.</p>
<p>There are like 2 people who are close then it just drops off.</p>
