<p>if rank is optional what happens when someone submits it from your school to a certain college and another doesn't?</p>
<p>Students attending high schools that don’t rank won’t be adversely affected.</p>
<p>I think his question was more like: His school ranks, but one student from his school put the rank on his application and another student decided not to since it was optional.</p>
<p>Won’t rank be on your official transcripts anyway if your school does rank?</p>
<p>No. It’s weirdly optional.</p>
<p>Send the rank information if it is helpful to you. Don’t waste any time worrying about someone else.</p>
<p>I’m not. That’s not what I said. </p>
<p>My GC said I don’t need my rank on my app…but if I don’t and other people from my school do…isn’t that counterproductive?</p>
