<p>My rank is like 34/181</p>
<p>On the transcript it has this, but it also indicates quartile. I'm in the first.</p>
<p>I know that College Board indicates like top 10%, top 25%, top 50%. Which am I in for college purposes? I would say the top 25%, but....I dunno.</p>
<p>34/181 is in the top 25% so that is what you could think of yourself as.</p>
<p>bump this up please :)</p>
<p>please bump this up:)</p>
<p>If you want exactness, your in the 18% but as others have said, its under 25%</p>
<p>You divide your rank/total class. So 34/181 = .1878 x 100 = 18.8%. That's your "exact" class rank. You're in the top 25%.</p>
<p>Not sure if you're looking for something different, since this question seems kinda simple (no offense to you).</p>
<p>No...hahaha....like I get how to get my rank, but my thing is like, ah nvm, lol.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you'd fall into top 25%</p>
<p>Question - do colleges round for top ranks? The original post got me thinking about it...say instead of 181 students there were 186, and you were ranked 19th. Would you still qualify for top 10%?</p>
<p>I think colleges are liberal with ranks so that many would consider you in the top 10%. Of course, there would be some schools out there that, for competition purposes, would probably not say the same, but for the most part, they give you the benefit of the doubt (imo). I think it also depends on your HS. Some HSs release rank, others don't. Mine doesn't, so I've been told that colleges use their own formula for determining the rank (using GPA, courses, etc.). The rank they produce is probably slightly different than my actual rank.</p>
<p>Wonder what the formula really is.</p>
<p>If a college saw only good things, except rank, and wanted to accept the student, wouldn't they try to manipulate it so that when they report it for the US Newsweek it looked better?</p>
