what if my HS does not rank students??

<p>Don't worry about not having a class rank, it's not going to slow down your application. Our son did not have a class rank being a member of the first graduating class in a new school, which had a total of six students that year. Didn't stop him from being accepted into an Academy. Admissions will look at the other factors on your application. Really, not a big deal at all.</p>

<p>Just to clarify so that there is no confusion for other candidates:</p>

<p>If the school does have rankings available that information must be supplied.</p>

<p>USMA admissions will still consider an admission if the high school's stated policy is to not rank. In many ways, if the applicant did well with GPA or SAT scores - it could be in the favor of the applicant to not have a high school ranking. If the applicant is in a high school which does not rank - it could then be a mistake ot insist on a decile ranking as an extraordinary measure. Usually it is best to insist the high school enforce their stated policy and not ask for an estimate from the guidance office.</p>
