Understanding Class Rank
What is Class Rank?
Class rank is a measure of how your academic performance compares to other students in your graduating class. It's typically calculated using cumulative GPA and is expressed as your position (e.g., "15 out of 350") or as a percentile.
Percentile vs. Top Percent
- Percentile: Shows what percentage of students scored below you
- Top Percent: Shows where you fall from the top (e.g., top 10%)
- A 90th percentile = Top 10% of the class
