How do Harvard adcoms view g.p.a in correlation with rank?

^ I disagree with that. At my school that only students to go to ivies were in the top 15(mostly ranked 1-3). The top 5% at my school is the top 40.



But is it a causal link? Do students ranked, say, 30th in the class have extracurriculars and test scores competitive for elite college admissions? Adcoms are simply looking to determine if you are academically qualified based upon your rank and test scores - beyond that determination, they don’t mean much.
