I can’t swear by this, since I appiled in 2006 for the 2007 class. But, if your school doesn’t rank, the the guidance counselor is asked to estimate your rank. Rank is VERY important because it shows how you do when compared with your classmates. If everyone gets easy great grades at your school, then everyone will have a high GPA; but it is the ranking of students that spells out who is really at the top of the heap.
Well, back when I applied, it meant a whole lot at many top universities, including UVA. So, just think about it a bit, and give an idea of where you fit in.
If your weighted GPA is 3.94, then I’m guessing that your unweighted is in the 3.4-3.5 range?? But if you are ranked #1 in your class then it tells me you go to a school that grades fairly harshly, but with #1 you are doing fantastically.
I had a long day today. I hope my logic makes a little bit of sense.
By the way, you have some nice EC’s and that should help your application across the board.
