What class rank is a 3.6 GPA at your school?

<p>Really bummed for my son. He has a 4.4 weighted (4.0 unweighted) and we just learned that is top 11% out of 318 students. (He was hoping for top 5% for the MSU honors college. )</p>

22

<p>20/80 small, private IB school with some really intense counter-grade inflation measures.</p>

23

<p>My school doesn’t rank, but I’d say 100-110/240.</p>

24

<p>~150/737… It’s a public school in a middle class neighborhood.</p>

25

<p>I have a 3.6 UW, and I’m in the top 4% (30/733)…is that good for me or does it imply my school sucks</p>

26

<p>

That’s very good. It says that your school has grade deflation and/or you took the hardest classes possible.</p>

27

<p>it would be like 50/125</p>

28

<p>bottom quartile is from 3.4->3.7</p>

<p>

No one in your school has below a 3.4 GPA?</p>

30

<p>about 40%…out of a class of over 1,400 students though.</p>

31

<p>wow i’m really screwed. thank goodness my school doesn’t do class rank!</p>

32

<p>Bottom 10%, about. Ours is out of 11.</p>

33

<p>3.6 unweighted=</p>

<p>300/700</p>

<p>taking a decent amount of AP’s/ Honors. maybe 150-200/700</p>

34

<p>That would probably be like a 4.1ish weighted which would put you top 30% I think?? Our school has more grade inflation then the US Dollar will have in the next couple years!</p>

35

<p>Probably mid 30s in our school, out of 325…yeah…our grade doesn’t have too many bright kids…</p>

36

<p>In my grade there are about 350 students.<br>
A GPA of 3.5-3.75 will put you in the top 33%.</p>

<p>Our school does not officially rank though.</p>

37

<p>3.6 UW would probably be top 15-10% for us</p>

38

<p>My school is like 50% Asian and is VERY smart. How would this affect the average GPA? Would the average be higher since the kids are so smart or lower since the classes are harder?</p>

39

<p>My SD does not rank, but it does have 2 honor rolls. One is 3.5 - 3.9, the other is over 4.0. For this past quarter, out of approximately 380 students in the 11th grade, 260 were on the honor roll. Yup, about 70% of the class has a 3.5 or better. It’s either a bad joke or I actually do live in Lake Woebegone.</p>

<p>The numbers are consistent for the other grades as well.</p>

<p>Nobody but me seems to think that this is bizarre.</p>

<p>Our large public high school posts its school profile on-line. The profile is a two-sided school produced document that gives academic stats about the school and students - including percentages for approximate class rank based on weighted GPA. The profile is mailed with all transcripts going to colleges that might be unfamilar with our high school/district to help give admissions offices a feel for the competitiveness of our school. The top weighted GPA is about 4.6; 4.0 is top 10 percent; 3.6 would be mid fifty percent. Graduating class sizes are 825-900. Maybe your school has a similar document?</p>
