<p>BTW, school rank is determined by college, no matter if HS ranks or not. If school does not rank, college calculates rank based on applicant GPA and class profile, which HS have to make available. they also might recalculate the rank, stripping weighted and considering rigor of classes. It is all just a game and something that does not need to be considered clsely at all. Just apply widely, see where you are accepted, choose UG that fits your personality and wide range of interests the best, try very hard, as close as possible to college GPA = 4.0 and you will be all set no matter what is your next step. It is all up to your hard work, name of you college is secondary and sometime (Med. School admission is one example) completely unimportant. My D. graduated #1 in her HS and had unbelievable 4 years at state UG, still misses it a lot. Do not underestimate the importance of college/applicant match, the rest is up to you as academic and other opportunities abd great bunch of very top caliber kids (valedictorians from private schools and such) are everywhere.</p>
