<p>I'm debating if I should turn in my health credit the first semester of senior year or second semester. </p>
<p>Because if they look at your final first semester (senior year) transcript, my rank will go down if I put in health. However, when they calculate valedictorian, i may have a chance. Does a college know if you're #1 even if your transcript says #5 because it isn't updated?</p>
<p>You’re seriously overstimating the value a college will place on your 1 vs 5 ranking.</p>
<p>If this really could affect whether you’d become valedictorian (Would it really? You have some authority you can trust on that? 'Cause that would be stupid.), and if being valedictorian would matter to you, then I guess it matters when you take health.</p>
<p>But I agree with T26E4. This is a petty difference that won’t matter to colleges at all.</p>
<p>And the answer to your question is that ED/EA decisions are based on your transcript through the end of junior year, and regular decisions are based on your transcript through the first semester of senior year.</p>
<p>Ahh thanks for easing my anxiety and quelling my worries. I’m so incredibly relieved, thanks again :)</p>
