Rethinking Class Ranking | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Still, class rank has real consequences. While colleges and universities are often more interested in course rigor than class rank in their applicant pool, there are instances in which class rank is quite important. For example, the University of Texas at Austin provides automatic admission (1) to students graduating in the top X percent of their class (X varies annually based on the percent needed to fill 75 percent of available Texas resident spaces).
