<p>^what if your top decile range was wide...like a 3.6-4.3 with maybe 20 or so kids, and you had a 4.25 and were ranked 2nd in your class? Wouldn't colleges see that the students in the top decile don't all have really high GPAs considering its wide range? And the second ranked had a low SAT score (2000s). How would colleges view this "in context of the student's school?"</p>
