<p>I know I'm only half way through highschool and that there's still time for everything but my school is SUPER competitive we have 6 people tied for Salutatorian, and then 7 people tied for 7th (one of them is me) </p>
<p>My school used to let you take classes out of school to increase your GPA but they stopped that. I just really want to go up in ranking. Does anyone know if there's a way to get around the system? That'a all I want from life right now :P (PS the only reason I'm not 2 was because I was tricked into taking Health Freshman year when it wasn't required)</p>
<p>Oh & my top schools are UChicago and Cornell :P</p>
<p>PLEASEEE LET ME KNOW THERE IS A CHEAT :P</p>
<p>& I’m 100% born Romanian, & and a RFEP if that helps at all. Also volunteered 200+ hours at a camp for orphans 2 years ago.</p>

<p>Calm down, kid. xD At the end of my freshman year, I was ranked 11th along with perhaps a dozen other students. At the end of my sophmore year, I, too, was ranked 7th; again, many other students occupied this slot. During my junior year, I moved up to 4th, and then again to 3rd without a tie. Yet, there is a tie for the first spot. You know what that means? I’m prospective salutatorian! My (public) school is competitive, too. There was a massive clusterfuc… er traffic jam at the top with many ties. Now, going into my senior year, I can say things have sorted out and I can breath easy with the pleasant expectation of giving a speech. So take AP’s, get A’s, and score 4’ and 5’s on the exams, and you’ll not only rise in rank, you’ll impress colleges. </p>
<p>Also: MUN means Model United Nations, I assuming. I’ve been doing it since my sophomore year, but I’ve never won an award.
I have, however, received high praise from the moderators. One even recognized my a WHOLE YEAR LATER at a restaurante. Another was a teacher’s aid for my AP psych teacher. xD</p>
<p>But let’s just say I don’t move up in Rank but get good scores on my SATs(expecting a 2300) and ACTs and AP Tests should that be enough to get into UChicago or Cornell? LOL & thanks but my school is so scary competitive and a lot of sneaky stuff is going on…because everyone is trying to find a way around this rule. :p</p>
<p>I had to deal with those sneaky kids too… testing out of classes and taking AP’s early. If you get perfect grades like I did, you’re sure to move up, though perhaps not eight spots. Also, I’d MUCH rather have a 2300 and be ranked 7th than have a 2130 and be ranked 3rd. ;)</p>
<p>I got moved down to 8th just recently because kids who were ranked as 2 got Bs…so they had to make room to accommodate them…so unfair! Ugh our school is screwing us over and I understand that however I’m not sure how colleges will! :P</p>
