[quote=Anonymous]I have friends in Texas where class rank is hugely important because of the way admissions to UT Austin and A & M work. They tell me that it punishes kids for taking risks (e.g. kids don't take calculus because they're afraid of a B, instead they limit themselves to classes where an A is within reach), or for involvement in the arts (e.g. a kid who takes 6 honors classes plus a free period can get a 5.0, but a kid who takes 6 honors classes plus theater can't because the arts classes aren't weighted). I don't want that for my kid.[/quote]
