I must, I must, I must decrease my rank!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I have some questions about class rank. </p>

<p>First of all; W rank - not UW rank, is looked at, right?</p>

<p>Is the rank that's sent to colleges calculated at the end of your junior year or does it differ from school to school? </p>

<p>& finally: I'm trying to develop a master plan to drastically decrease my ranking. My school won't give us a clue of what it is until the end of next year I've figured out what one of the few underachievers in my grade's W GPA will be..</p>

<p>Her:
3.4 (9th)
3.7 (10th)
4.0 (11th.. don't judge me for predicting!)
+.10 (Weight added to 9th for taking 2 H's)
+.25 (Weight added to 10th for taking all H's)
+.33 (Weight added to 11th for taking 4 AP's & 1 H)
Final UW GPA: 3.70
Final W GPA: 4.38</p>

<p>Me:
4.0 (9th)
4.0 (10th)
4.0 (11th)
+.25 (Weight added to 9th for taking all H's)
+.25 (Weight added to 10th for taking all H's
+.28 (Weight added to 11th for taking 4 AP's..Guessing here, but probably correct)
Final UW GPA: 4.0
Final W GPA: 4.78</p>

<p>At my school, .00 weight is added for each R's course taken & .00 is added for each Non-AP course. </p>

<p>Soo, roughly 400 kids are on the R's track right now (not sure how many will take AP's, I'm guessing 0?) </p>

<p>400 kids (give or take) on the R's/Non-AP track will have a Final UW GPA of 0.0-3.7. Most of these 400 will probably take 0 AP's max. next year.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot at the #100 spot? Should I take 0 AP's next year? (my first year taking AP's) or would that be absolutely crazy if I want to invest minimal time in my EC's?</p>

<p>An uphill battle awaits you.</p>

<p>The original thread is completely wrong. This is the correct title to have.</p>

<p>One does not strive to increase their rank, but rather to lower it.</p>

<p>In fact, I have the lowest class rank possible right now (1 of 440).</p>

<p>I actually want my rank to go down one. I was 13th, right? Then I got a C in Physics and became 12th, which is insane, but I loved being 13th. It’s this inside joke sorta. Have any of you guys seen Rome, that HBO show? It was only on for 2 seasons, but the main guys, Pullo and Vorenus, were in the 13th something, maybe legion, and one sometimes shout “Thirteenth!” So, having that rank really excited me. Maybe even m’a excitee (I also just realized that I can’t do accents on a Windows, so sorry if you guys don’t understand that).</p>

<p>^That’s weird… yet cool. :D</p>

<p>And +1 to the thread.</p>

<p>lmfaooo. You win.</p>

8

<p>The title is backwards I think. You want to increase your rank to a higher/better position. I know what you mean though… =D</p>

9

<p>um false…you lose aStyle.</p>

10

<p>haha…this is awesome</p>

11

<p>I will reitirate what everyone said…this is hilarious.</p>

<p>*on the side note: I feel bad for the ctgirl(some numbers)…</p>

12

<p>^I don’t. She annoys me with her school-related talks and tendencies.</p>
