[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find out if your private school will disclose the 20% ranking or not. Most do not.

Then you need to ask your college counselor if kid does certain things from a story, EC, impact perspective, then what are some good options for ED - reach for him.

It’s surprising you don’t have access to any of your schools data. How are you supposed to tell if you’re competitive or not for school? Maybe you haven’t gotten access yet and it’s coming?[/quote]

Not op. At our private, can tell if top 10 percent because first half of cum laude society announced in fall, and can tell top 5-10 kids (kids, not percent) by awards received at end of junior year.  However, school does not technically release rank.

I think top schools can determine where in class kids fall beyond this because they receive some many apps from our private year after year.  So school not releasing rank doesn’t necessarily mean colleges can’t figure out.[/quote]

Cum Laude a joke at DD’s private. Kids only there for 2 years and not even IB, which top students do. At my high school was different. It depends.[/quote]

The charter says it can’t be more than 20 percent of class.  I guess it’s not necessarily top 20 percent of class every where, but our schools (son and daughter attend different single sex school) is quite clear that it’s based on weighted gpa, and it’s been that way since the 1980’s.  Since these kids will mainly attend T20, the colleges know.

To me, what makes the Dartmouth numbers impressive is more than 20 percent number one or two in their class.  We had one admit this cycle ED and he was in top 10 percent of class.[/quote]
