My school doesn't rank...how are colleges gonna look at this

Applying to College
1

<p>There's a scholarship at one of the schools I'm applying to--you have to be in the top 1% of your class and have a min. SAT score. My SAT score meets the requirement but the thing is...my shcool doesn't rank or even give deciles.</p>

<p>On the school profile though they list the levels of GPA's and how many students have above a certain level, so the college will know that I'm at least one of the top 12 students out of a class of about 230...but they won't know what my rank is exactly...would they still consider me for this scholarship?</p>

<p>Your guidance counsellor will have to write a nice letter explaining the situation to the college and tell them where you fall.</p>

<p>with close to 50% of high schools not ranking, this is not unusal.</p>

<p>My D also attended a high school that does not rank. It has been my experience that even at schools that do not rank, GC will rank confidentially for scholarship/admissions purposes.</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>i called the school and i was put on hold for about half an hour before i finally gave up...ugh. maybe i'll call back tmrw</p>

<p>I have a similar situation... my public school doesn't rank, for fear that students with competing GPAs would stab each other (lol.. it's quite competitive). </p>

<p>My GC told me that they include class size, highest GPA and average GPA, so the adcom can somewhat estimate.</p>
