If the UC's don't look at class rank......

First of all, some schools DO NOT rank their students, such as my own high school because we have so many students with 4.0 UW GPA’s that the rank wouldn’t even tell you much of anything. Second, high school rank is not a national indicator by any standard. For example, do you honestly think a top 10% from a low income, impoverished public high school is the same as a top 10% from one of the best public high schools in the nation? Probably not.

By the way, your chance of admission is equal to the percentage of accepted applicants over the entire amount of applicants. UC Berkeley admitted 21% of applicants last year. Most Ivies only admit 7-10%
