I go to a small school where my graduating class will consist of about 60 people. I feel like I have a solid application except for my class ranking. How much does rank matter when getting into Penn? Unfortunately, the way rank is at my school I am ranked behind people taking easier classes than me because they have a higher GPA since we don’t weight them. I currently have a 3.95 and I think I am ranked around 17.
Is there a way I can communicate in my application that the people ranked ahead of me weren’t taking the honors or AP classes I took? I am very nervous that this could break my application.
