What year is class ranking determined? What do colleges see?

<p>What class ranking do colleges want to see? I've heard from a few people that you use the rank from the end of Junior year, but I just want to make sure. Each report card has a different class rank, so could anyone clarify? If it varies college to college, then would anyone have any idea about the UC's? Thank you for the help!!!</p>

<p>I am not trying to be difficult when I say that class rank is determined whenever your high school determines it, and colleges see whatever your high school sends them. You need to ask this question at your own school.</p>

<p>My kids’ high school ranked students once and only once–at the end of junior year. But that’s not how all high schools operate.</p>

<p>Thanks Sikorsky! I think that’s how most high schools work, which is good news in my case! I appreciate the info</p>

<p>I think it does really depend on your high school. I know some that don’t determine the “official” class rank until March (ie for Valedictorian/Salutatorian) and others that don’t release class ranks at all. I would probably go ask your counselor.</p>
