[quote=Anonymous]There has been academic research on this. Google "Attewell Frog Pond". IIRC, under the methodology most colleges used in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a big benefit to being in the top 1-3 students in the class, so that would tend to suggest #1 in small school would be best in your example. But also note that smaller schools will sometimes obscure class rank, since it can become arbitrary in such small groups. So colleges respond by putting more weight on other factors and/or estimating class ranks using other data. It's like an arms race. [/quote]
