<p>I'm working really hard to rank very high at my school, but does this matter at all in Admissions. Do they even consider it? I heard from some people they do, and some people they don't So what's the real answer?</p>
<p>all sources tell me that they really really really care…and that they want it to be the top 10%</p>
<p>However, that being said, if your school doesn’t rank it won’t kill you. Also, if your rank isn’t in the top 10%, don’t worry. I’m sure you won’t be written off just because of that.</p>
<p>If you want better input, e-mail their office of admission…</p>
<p>some schools do, and some schools don’t</p>
<p>Notable that does: Any Ivy League
Notable that doesn’t: UGA</p>
<p>No, my school ranks, I’m like top 3% right now out of like 750 students. I’m just wondering if UF considers rank when you apply?</p>
<p>That top three percent should be a big plus.</p>
<p>yeah, UF really cares about class rank</p>
<p>Wad: What kind of a question is this? Next you will be asking if grades and/or test scores matter. Think man before you write. The rest of you ought to stop being enablers.</p>
<p>There is no place for inane admissions threads on this UF site.</p>
<p>No. I read a thread on here where someone called UF and they said not to send your Class Rank when you apply because they don’t look at it, but I thought that sounded weird. So do you get what I’m saying?</p>
<p>Here is the thread Hurley

UF does not take consider class rank in admissions decisions. I emailed the admissions office a few months ago and they said it was not necessary to send it in.</p>
<p>It’s okay, man. It’s a legit question. Surely better than pre-cybering with someone you don’t know and have never seen on a college discussion board.</p>
<p>Vic: You gotta admit that the Kitty is worth it!</p>
<p>Just curious: have you ever seen her?</p>
<p>Intus: Just in my dreams.</p>
<p>Wad: Sorry can’t take back what I said. Using Gatorboy as an authorative source for anything puts you in the penalty box for the rest of the game.</p>
<p>Hahahahahaha omg</p>
<p>I’m guessing GatorBoy is a ■■■■■?</p>
<p>why?</p>

<p>What grade are you in metal? On the UF application, it has on there where you should put your ranking, it’s optional-I believe; and even though you tell them your ranking position, they will double check on your transcript. I’m not sure what that thread was about with “UF does not take consider class rank in admissions decisions.” They probably do they probably don’t, I don’t know, but, almost everything they need will be printed on that transcript and typed on the application.</p>
<p>Nah I’m in 10th (end of 10th :)) so this is probably premature, but it’s still nice to know this information when I do apply.</p>
<p>UF weights class rank very heavily in the admissions process. However, class rank becomes less of an issue if you go to a very competitive, small private school. I currently attend a HS like this and I wasn’t in the top 10% of my class (I was in the top 15%), but I was still accepted to UF. Had I been in my local public high school, I guarantee you I would have been in the top 10% because I take mostly honors courses and I have a 4.3+ GPA. Other people in my class who ranked below me also were admitted to UF. Because UF knows my school produces high quality students and that our school is ridiculously competitive, class rank is less of an issue. However, if you attend a huge, less-competitive public high school, your going to want to make sure that your class rank is very high because UF will most likely focus on your rank. Being in IB wouldn’t hurt either, coming out of a public school, or at least having a lot of AP or DE classes under your belt. So take advantage of those if your school offers them.</p>
