<p>thanks for the responses! What happened is it moved her out of the top 5% into the top 10%. I know that’s still great and honestly, even knowing what it did to her ranking, she would still have kept the heavier load because that’s just the kind of kid she is. It’s just I keep hearing so much about the thousands of apps colleges get, that I would think her app’s chances for getting sifted to the level of review necessary to realize all this, would go up if her statistics looked good with just a quick look–top 5% does look better than 10%! It hurts when you know they’ve really earned it.</p>
<p>Does anybody else know how, mathmatically, a high school could deal with the study hall problem in ranking calculations? Sherpa, I’m going to your suggestion with her scenario vs. the same schedule with a study hall to see if that takes care of it. Thanks!</p>
