GPA vs CLASS rank??? confused

My class Rank is 1st of 120ish kids, BUT my GPA is only 95.5%/100% cumulatively (all 4 years of high school).

Because of Grade 9 its a bit low, but am are my Academics good enough for Harvard admission?

And yes I take all the most advanced courses available to me. 13 AP courses and 6 are self-studied.

So how do i stack up academically for Harvard?

Im only asking about grades and i know the application isnt just limited to grades.

I think academically, you are in the race. But yes, the application consists of a lot of other things..

class rank of 1 puts you in a great position.

each school calculates GPA differently, and they have different levels of rigor--colleges will recognize that.
