<p>I received my first class rank around October of last year saying that I was number 1 based on 3 years of HS. First semester of senior yr is over and ranks are finalized now, and I am still able to keep my rank. I am the sole val. Should I inform the colleges of this? I mentioned it in my applications before (they weren't final), but should I tell them now because it is final?</p>
<p>Did your counselor send in the Semester Report for fall term? Ask her/hime if they included class rank and the number of people who hold that rank. </p>
<p>If the counselor did not send that info, yes, you should send it.
" I am writing to update my official rank. I am now ranked number 1, sole valedictorian. Thank you for updating my file…"</p>
<p>I’d bet the colleges will see the confirmation of your rank even if it is on the bottom of the sheet. They are trained to look for all the info.</p>
