Worth skipping EA to get 3.67 to 3.7+?

<p>BTW: If your high school does not rank, colleges can find out your ranking in a number of ways. See: <a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/05/education/05rank.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0[/url]”>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/05/education/05rank.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When high schools do not provide rankings, the broad information they sometimes include about grades can come in many forms: a bar graph showing how many students in a class had grade averages of A-minus to A or B-plus to B; a table listing grade averages by deciles (which averages fell in the top 10 percent of a class, for example); and even a graphic device called a scattergram, which shows the distribution of grades by plotting a dot for each grade average in a graduating class. Using broad data that high schools often provide, like a distribution of grade averages for an entire senior class, they essentially recreate an applicant’s class rank.
