<p>Here is a list I gathered, I used collegeboard.com, these top 100 schools that don't consider class rank as an very important or important factor or not at all</p>

<p>in order from highest to lowest according to usnews best national universities list:</p>

<p>Lehigh University- considered
University of Rochester- not at all
University of Washington- not at all
UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbra- not at all
Pepperdine University- not at all
University of Georgia- not at all
Michigan State University-considered
University of Delaware- not at all
Virginia Tech-not at all
Clark University- not at all
St. Louis University- not at all
American University- not at all
Stevens Institute of Technology- not at all
UC-Riverside- not at all
University of Denver- not at all
Auburn University- not at all</p>

<p>why do these schools not consider class rank? My rank will be bad that is why I'm interested in some of these schools.</p>

<p>With the exception of its ELC program, none of the UCs consider rank since half of the California public high schools do not rank.</p>

<p>I would think many Pepperdine students come from rigorous private schools. With a small class size of only about 30, considering rank in admissions would be an issue. Not entirely sure though.</p>
