<p>Ya right now I’m ranked 88/354 (top 25% barely :(). and I’m REALLY trying tobring it up to top 10%. After this semester, my rank so go up considerably (all As and a B). Next year I’m taking 5 AP classes, 1 IB class and 2 PIB classes. The rest of my high school years will only be AP and IB classes. Can someone please tell me, if I keep my rank they way it is, how much it would hurt with such a rigorous course load, a lot of ECs, etc?</p>
<p>Well, i’m guessing your gpa is between 3.0 and 3.5. Those AP/IB courses should only help you if you do well, as in get A’s or B’s in those classes. I think you’re a sophomore. But it is a difficult transistion at first to have suddenly different work loads. I took 4 AP courses for junior year and 3 for senior year along with other core courses, that was busy enough for me. I didn’t do sports, but a lot of other service and clubs. </p>
<p>To be top 10%, you would have to be in the 35th person in line. No doubt with that many students in your school, there are those very high achieving students. However, I think that if you can focus on those classes, those classes should help your grade to go higher.</p>
<p>What AP/IB classes are you signed up for?? some classes are harder than other. For ex. AP Bio was a lot more work than AP Microecon. But really, if you work hard enough, you’ll come out with a’s and b’s for your classes, and your gpa would be pretty good.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.73 unweighted and a 4.1 weighted a/o 2nd semester grades in. I’m taking AP Art History, AP Calculus AB, IB Computer Studies, AP US govt, AP English Language, and AP Statistics.</p>
<p>What grade are you in? How much time do you have?</p>
<p>I still have a LOT of time. I’m gonna be a sophomore next year (just finished school). I know I have a lot of time, but just in case I don’t bring it up, I just want to make sure that colleges will see the classes I will take.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it so much. You have no problem yet. Just get better grades, if it’s so important to you.</p>
<p>You have a 3.73 UW and is in 25%??? Your school must be hard.</p>
<p>i know!!! i don’t get it either</p>
<p>well if their school ranks by weighted, then the 4.1 might put him at 88</p>
