<p>Chillax guys.</p>
<p>Someone that is really bitter about their class rank is either overreacting, genuinely sad, or both. Weaponcaptain, if I remember correctly, wasn’t happy with her June SAT score. Perhaps it is not the particular drop in rank - which may be petty - but a broader context that caused her bitterness.</p>
<p>three places in class rank isn’t that big of deal. you’re going to have awesome college options.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. I’m sorry it happened, and I totally understand what it would be like to have academic disappointments, but in the long run this really doesn’t matter. To make you feel better, I’ve done some careful research, and I’ve compiled a list of everyone in the world who will care about your HS class rank in one year. Without any further ado, here’s the list:</p>
<p>(Note: This isn’t intended to be a mockery of any sort. I just want to get across the point that it really doesn’t matter, and that in spite of this you can just enjoy your high school classes and still be successful in college. :))</p>
<p>Haha thanks. And for anyone who cares, I don’t think I’m better than anyone else in my school, but it bothers me that everyone who surpassed me now thinks they are the best.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I came across as some whiney baby who was looking for people to feel sympathy for me. That wasn’t how I intended to sound. I was just looking for people who had similar feelings or had a constructive opinion. Of course I knew that some people would give some pretty harsh responses but that’s okay.</p>
<p>About my bitterness, there is a context to it. I had a rough year academically and that’s not usually how I am. I have this huge reputation in the school and in my family to be the “smart one” and a lot of people were disappointed in me, including myself.</p>
<p>I’m pretty much over this now, I’d rather not put so much thought into it anymore. I want to forget what happened and just make my senior year worth while.</p>
<p>But thank you to those who helped, it made me feel a lot better :)</p>
