[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article states she was 23 in her class. Curious as to where the kids ranked higher than her are going. Also, that seems like some major grade inflation if two Bs bumps you down to 23rd. (And I am getting the sense a lot of big public schools are that way - very grade inflated). Also wonder how rigorous her classes were. [/quote] She was 23rd in the class and half of the 600 are not even aiming to go to college. So I would look at that as 23rd out of the 300 trying for college. That is a great achievement but she was given poor advice if she she thought she would definitely be admitted to any of the colleges listed.[/quote] Colleges should really be more direct if that’s how they define class rank. A lot of kids hear “top x% of your class” and think that means they’re tippy top.[/quote]
