<p>Sidra, looking at some of your posts, it's evident that you lack ambition. So I am not surprised that you're astonished that people actually worry about their class ranking.</p>
<p>I did not know that ambition was denoted by class ranking.
Nor did I know that you have the inherent ability to pyschoanalyze someone through a few posts on an internet forum.</p>
<p>It's obvious that you're a presumptuous jerk with an attitude personality, but hey - who knows?</p>
<p>^ And you're not????</p>
<p>@ OP: Talk with your guidance counselor, explain that you're taking an AP-level course but will only get honors credit for it, and ask if there's any way they can fix it.</p>
<p>I was being sarcastic.</p>
<p>I'd suggest trying to get another AP, or simply force your way into AP Calculus BC. Valedictorian is extremely valuable to elite colleges, its like some dumb rank slip from like 20/500 to 40/500 - Valedictorian acceptance rates are extremely high from Upenn (40%) to harvard (~30%), while Saladictorian rates are considerably lower</p>
