HS class rank not based on weighted GPA

College admission officers review the actual transcript and will understand exactly the level of coursework your D has completed.

I would not give the ranking another thought (unless applying for an auto-admit in TX).

1. AOs understand that different high schools calculate GPA and rank in different ways (ex. some high schools don’t do a weighted GPA, others don’t rank).

2. Many colleges recalculate GPA based on their own criteria (ex. academic subjects only, no weighting, etc.)

3. In general try not to worry about things you can’t change.

Wishing you D the best. And congrats on the acceptances in hand!
