I got my transcript today. Guess what I’m ranked out of 528 people?
66!
When you do a bit of mathematical magic using those numbers,
100(1-(66/528))
You get the following number: 87.5
Which means that 87.5% of my class has a lower rank than I do (confusingly, that is a higher number, but higher is worse).
Last year I was in the top 90 (by a very tiny margin) coming in at 51 of 547.
So, I’d say that’s it is a decent rank based on what I’m taking. If I didn’t take AP Chemistry, I would probably have a higher rank. Probably closer to 51.
My school has weighted GPAs and non-weighted. Mine are 4.00 and 3.41 respectively. That’s cutting it pretty close if you ask me. I’m looking at you AP Chemistry.
What do you think?
