<p>How important does class rank affect someone who's applying to a school who ignores freshmen year, significantly raising their GPA, but their rank does not accurately reflect this?</p>
<p>Do colleges check to see if your class rank breaks 10% (say it hasn't) after you've already applied? EX: You're 12% in your class when you apply, but by the time term 3/4 comes along(first half of semester 2), you've been bumped to under 10%, will a college be able to find this out- and would this greatly change your chances?</p>
