<p>I attended an information session during spring break, and a parent questioned the emphasis placed on class rank. I believe the admissions officer who lead the session stated that Northwestern observes extreme subjectivity on class rankings and disregards them completely.</p>
<p>To anyone else who attended a session, can you confirm that anyone else said this?</p>
<p>edit: If you want I can describe what the admissions officer looked like. ;)</p>
