If the main reason your rank is lower is due to Student Government being an unweighted class, I don’t think you will be penalized for this rank as much as others here think you will be. In terms of your rigor, how does it compare to those who are ranked above you?

This is what I was wondering about, and hoping I would hear. I was hoping that by being significantly lower in terms of rank than my peers (and also the 2 Bs…), it could be subsidized by being Student Body President (though I know everyone at any top university is) would help in justifying that. My interests lie in politics (for now) so I thought that by participating in SGA, I would certainly be more well off. In terms of rigor, other than Student Government, I am taking the highest classes possible.

I will rerun the NPC calculator at a bunch of schools, I honestly was confused by the entire system to begin with and I think I have a better understanding of the calculator, etc.

Will you apply for any large scholarships, like Robertson at Duke/UNC? Have you considered Vanderbilt, because the Cornelius Vanderbilt scholarship is very generous.

Yes, I was planning on applying to the Robertson at both UNC and Duke.

Thank you everyone for your comments, I’m going to read through everything in the next few hours. I feel like I’m obvious to the entire process so thank you guys!
