My son has a 3.83 GPA and a rank of 22%. …

In his situation I dont know what a rank of 22% really tells the college.



Dunno what it tells the college, but it tells me that you HS has massive grade inflation. (At our public, a 3.8 uw might be top quintile.)

So in your son’s case, mitch, rank will be a major determining factor at all highly selective schools (which pride themselves on accepting top decile students).
