Omitting entering class rank as it's very low, then realizing it's on the transcript

You didn’t think it would be? The Common App clearly notes that the information on the application in terms of academics does not replace official records. This is why you have to send test scores from the agency and send an official transcript, which would obviously have your class rank on it. To be honest, I don’t know how much attention colleges pay to that section of the Common App when they have a transcript. I imagine its minimal. Regardless, you won’t be penalized because USC will probably figure you just didn’t know it.
