What is this all about top 10%?

^ you think that’s bad. My friend transfered to a low performing school to get a higher rank because she wanted to have a high rank to go to a school like Northwestern, UMich, etc. She has people in her top 10% that don’t even try to be top 10%. She said there are people who have never taken honors or AP Classes and have really low SAT scores and they are top 10%.

I got higher SAT scores than her. I also got higher scores on the AP tests we both took and when we went to school together we made about the same grades and we both take rigorous school courseloads packed with honors/APs. She is unrivaled valedictorian and because of that is getting a scholarship to UT.

BLAH. Life is unfair. Especially if you want to to a public college in Texas…
