Who says class rank isn’t important? I don’t think my applications were as successful with my 12%ile unweighted GPA and 3.9 than they would have been if I was in the top 10% despite my 2210 SAT. While I think weighted rank is helpful, unweighted rank says nothing about the difficulty of your school or how good you are compared to your classmates–it doesn’t care if other students took AP Physics or if they instead took Health. If my school would have used weighted GPAs I would have been in the top 3%.
