I think it’s important to remember that colleges will see the actual transcripts with the courses and grades. No top school is going to reject a person with all As in a bunch of APs and a few electives just because he’s ranked #3. It is a bit of a different story if these factors make somebody drop out of the top 10%, because that can have an automatic effect at some schools.
