Which are the most class-rank-conscientious among top colleges?

Top holistic schools dont do first cut solely on rank. Period. But if your stats are too far outside the profile, you’re in trouble for reasons other than rank.

Similarly, if your rank is high based on easy classes or a rank scheme at your hs that overweights AP or honors, they won’t get excited.

If you are a top performer, great. Now find whether you match the rest of what they value, the qualities and actions. This would steer you better than worrying about rank.
