The application process has reached a point where a majority of students applying to highly selective colleges do not provide Class Rank in their transcripts.

As others have posted, it is important to have an extensive conversation with your GC about:


how your GPA compares to your classmates; and
how your relative position is reported to colleges.


Adcoms must put your transcript in context of your classmates as well as recent graduates of your high school to understand the full impact of your academic record.

Your job is make sure that how you report your standing is both consistent with what your GC reports as well as ensuring that it is placed in the most favorable light possible.
