Highest grade in class throughout school

Applying to College
1

Hi, if I have the highest grade in a certain course (for me IB Calc I HL and IB Physics I SL) out of everyone in the course/school, then could/should I report this on my application to indicate a level of distinction? Additionally, I had the highest grade in the school in Pre-Calculus last year.

Is this a good idea, or will it make me seem cocky/pretentious

Thanks

Unless your school gives out a formal award for such a distinction (e.g. how schools give out valedictorian for having the highest GPA overall at the end) don’t mention it

If that teacher is a recommender they may mention it.

^Yes, agreed. LORs and/or your GC can mention it a million times over. You never should.
