I’m a sophomore and my class rank is 68/651
My GPA is a 3.72(unweighted). How can I raise it to a 4.0?
I’m trying to get into UT.
What is my class rank percentile?
Is it possible to increase my rank?
The courses I’m taking Junior Year are:
AP English
AP Physics
APUSH
AP Chemistry
Art
Precal PAP
Track
The class ranking GPA is based on a 6.0 scale and does take into account the level of the
class.
Once you dip below a 4.0, its impossible to get a 4.0 unweighted again. Doing some simple math says that your class rank is a little outside the 90th percentile. You can increase your rank obviously by raising your GPA with better grades and tougher courses. If you can pull that GPA up even .1 of a point, you will be doing slightly above average for UT.
You can raise your rank by getting better grades IF everyone in front of you either stays the same or drops behind you.
Right now you can’t get into UT. You’re roughly top 12% which is excellent but you’d have to be top 6-7%.
So, don’t look at it that way. Think if your schedule as a way to maximize offs if honors college at another college than UT.
Focus in the other Texas public universities, private universities, and out if state options. Run the net price calculator on, say UArkansas, UOklahoma, Trinity Texas, TCU, Colorado Boulder, UNM, ASU Barrett, Montana State…
Obviously apply to UT when the time comes but as a cherry on the cake type of thing.
