<p>The supplement asks for your class rank. It says If precise rank is not available, please estimate, as "top tenth," "top quarter," etc. </p>
<p>My school does not rank, nor does it make its "estimate" available to students. I honestly have no idea where I fall rank-wise. (People at my school don't even know who the valedictorian will be.) Is it OK if I just put "NR" or "n/a"? Can't Harvard just look on the counselor/school report?</p>
<p>If I remember right it also says if your school doesn't rank just put down the class size. So it doesn't really matter.. my school doesn't rank either and I've just put down class size.</p>
<p>My school doesn't rank and won't even estimate your decile or anything. Colleges understand why, so they're fine with it.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. Ask your counselor, they will give you a good answer.</p>
<p>OK... thanks all.</p>
<p>Ummm... I just opened the School Report form on Harvard's website- it has a Harvard supplement to the School Report. I only gave the Common App School Report to my counselor. This is fine right? I'm so confused. :-/</p>
<p>for harvard u also need 2 give ur counselor the school report 2 form</p>
<p>^^ I assume you are referring to the supplement to the School Report when you say "school report 2 form"... right?</p>
<p>Is it required though? If you're using the Common App, it never mentions there being a supplement to the school report...</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>yes, it is required;
the common app doesn't mention it b/c it isn't a part of the common app;
harvard put it there
"The purpose of this recommendation is to assist the Admissions Committee in making a decision and, if the applicant
enrolls, to aid in making rooming assignments and to assist the student in other ways. Because inadequate information
can sometimes diminish a student’s chances for admission, a full and candid report is essential. We ask, therefore, for
careful ratings and comments about characterand ability by a school official who knows the student well. Your report
will be read thoroughly by admissions officers and later reviewed by the Admissions Committee as it votes on the
student’s case."</p>
<p>you are right, it is kind of ambiguous whether it is necessary or not... but if you look at the mailing labels - one is called "school report I and II" - so i'm assuming it is either necessary or highly desired</p>
<p>btw, does anyone know if our essays must have a title?</p>
<p>omg... I had NO idea there was the school report had a supplement. Sigh. What can I do now? All my stuff is mailed.</p>
<p>I never looked at the mailing labels. My school has a strict procedure for college stuff- all school stuff (transcripts, school report, profile, recommendations) goes in one envelope, they label the outside, seal it up, then either send it off or give it to the student to send. </p>
<p>If there are (at least) two people just on CC who didn't know, I would think it happens quite often. It's really unclear.</p>
<p>neutralnuke: your essays don't need a title.</p>
<p>it is very unclear- i found out last week after my counselor had mailed transcripts and all in....but i still found time to give it to her</p>
<p>i guess you can just give it 2 her on monday, and email or talk 2 the Harvard office about this</p>
<p>It is pretty unclear.. </p>
<p>As for titles, not necessary but might as well put one on if you can think of something creative or if you just feel like it.</p>
