My school doesn’t really do class ranking. However, it does submit the transcripts of the top 12.5% of students to the University of California System and they choose the Top 4% from the school to designate as being “Eligible in a Local Context” for guaranteed admission into a UC School. The schools I apply to won’t be able to see my class rank, but I know I must be in the top 4% becuase I got ELC. Should I note this somewhere on the common app? Will it make a difference?
