George Washington U. Fudged "Class Rank" Stats

<p>Line C10 of the CDS asks for the percentage of enrolled freshmen who submitted class rank. GW has updated their CDS to say that class rank %s have been revised as of Nov 8th. </p>

<p>“C10 Percent of total first-time, first-year (freshmen) students who submitted high school class rank: 38%<br>
C 10 Class Rank percentages are revised as of 11/08/2012”</p>

<p>ExStudent–our HS also provides a grade distribution chart, but looking at our most current example, the 10th percentage point falls 16 students into the 43 person 3.75 to 3.99 range. It is not possible to determine exactly where they 16th student will fall among the 43. Since GW has revised their percentage of top 10% students down from 78% to 58%, I would have to guess they were too liberal when extrapolating. (Of course, my guess is no more sound than their methods!)</p>

<p>Having said all of this, as Sally commented, I truly doubt they are alone, and at least they came forward.</p>
