What does ranking matter if you move senior year?

Applying to College

<p>I spent 9th and 10th grades in LA...</p>

<p>...11th grade in Utah...</p>

<p>...and 12th grade I don't know</p>

<p>How would colleges factor in my ranking at my new high school this year? I mean, it doesn't really mean anything because most of my grades came from other schools. Is ranking still an important factor for getting myself into top colleges, like MIT or Yale?</p>

<p>Maybe they would still value my ranking because it makes them look good on statistics?</p>

<p>i believe that your GPA carries over, and they give you a new classrank when you switch schools</p>

3

<p>yes but isn’t the new class rank irrelevant because of the difference in grading difficulty across high schools?</p>

<p>That does not matter. They will weigh your class rank as they do everyone elses.</p>

<p>ok, thanks</p>
