<p>My school doesn’t rank. Maybe if it did I would work harder :s</p>
<p>My school doesn’t tell us our class rank until right before graduation and really only the valedictorian and sal know earlier I believe, but the top certain amount of kids graduate with honors and my school posts high honor roll and honor roll up so we have an idea, except a lot of it is filled with regular kids who don’t take AP and I get so mad!</p>
<p>@Tinny Haha, if you don’t feel like talking about it further I’m perfectly fine with that, but I hope we’re not “agreeing to disagree” so we don’t offend each other. Because I certainly won’t be offended… I like arguing. Or discussing I guess, since “arguing” has a bad connotation to it. Either way, I think it’s an interesting issue to talk about, and if I was giving off a contentious vibe that certainly wasn’t my intention. My aggressive arguing is only used for more important topics, like the best pizza toppings (pepperoni). :P</p>
<p>I got my rank yesterday 11 of 121 for both unweighted and weighted GPA. I know my rank is not bad, but it is so frustrating being so close to the top 10. Hopefully my dual enrollment class will help my grade (on the plus side I have a 96 in my first college class).</p>
<p>I got a 16/20 on part 1 of my history test! It’s the first B I’ve gotten on a test (as in, I’ve been averaging a C) in this class! I’m so happy!</p>

<p>I really wish my school actually made class rankings available before the end-of-the-year awards ceremony. Not that I’m worried; I was ranked sixth in Freshman year and first for last year, with that Sophomore ranking apparently bringing me up all the way to second overall. O_O Since my grades this year are even better this year (by about two points) than last year, I’m definitely not worried unless I can bring my Pre-Calculus grade (97 so far for this quarter) and Honors English grade (92 so far for this semester) back up where they should be. Neither teacher gives extra credit. The Pre-Calc teacher claims that it’s because she’s teaching it as a college course, which makes no sense; I have friends in college and their teachers give extra credit all the time. And now I’m ranting. Sorry. XD</p>
<p>^
Does your school calculate GPA on a 100-point scale or something? I don’t see why a 97 would be an issue. </p>
<p>“I have friends in college and their teachers give extra credit all the time”</p>
<p>Colleges have grade inflation too.</p>
<p>Yeah, they grade on a 100-point scale. And I understand that it isn’t typically a problem, but I’m admittedly too much of a perfectionist. XD</p>
<p>11 of 773 with a 4.0 UW. When you take band classes and a whole bunch of extra Spanish classes, you only have so much room for the AP weighted classes. I shouldn’t complain, but you haven’t met 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, or 5. They’re smart- don’t get me wrong; they just kind of do whatever they want in all of their classes and then try in fourth quarter enough to get A’s.</p>
<p>^I prefer to do it the other way around if I can. Try at the beginning of each semester, pad your grade, then coast to the final. Much less stressful.</p>
<p>Spring sucks ): schedule’s really taxing now, what with AP tests coming up soon…</p>

<p>Are you not allowed to take a music course for credit rather than a traditional art course</p>
<p>I dreamt that WUSTL rejected me ED last night, even though I wasn’t even going to apply there. I think I’ve been CC too long.</p>
<p>My school offers Art, Computer Graphics, Band, and Choir for art classes that are accepted for A-G, but art was the only thing that wasn’t full when I signed up for my classes. I wish Forensics (speech and debate) was accepted as a performing art since I took 2 years of Forensics already.</p>
<p>Just arrived at the Raleigh-Durham airport to start my college trip! Going to visit UNC, Duke, Yale, Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia.</p>
<p>Nice biovball, sadly I am not visiting schools over spring break. 
In May I am visiting Georgetown and GW and then over the summer I am interviewing at schools in Philly and visiting Dickinson, Franklin and Marshall, Gettysburg and hopefully University of Chicago.</p>
<p>Haven’t actually visited any schools yet… really should get on that.</p>
<p>My spring break is next week. And then like no more breaks until the end of school… fun times, not.</p>
