What if your school does NOT provide class rank?

Hello Everyone,

As you may know, a good number of high schools do not provide class ranks on transcripts anymore, which is a key part of the students application.

My question is this: Are you disenfranchised if your school doesn’t provide Penn with your class rank? Can anyone comment on this–especially if they were ACCEPTED into Penn/Wharton/CAS/etc. and did NOT give class rank? Assume that you aren’t valedictorian–our school does give a class profile with what each decible is (top 10%, top 20%, etc.) and the highest GPA…thus, it is obvious for Penn to realize if the valedictorian applies to their school.

Thanks!
