Hello, I'm not sure if information that answers this question is publicly known, but I will ask it anyways.
In my scenario, I am ranked number 24/360 in my class with just above a 4.0 GPA. This is, however, the first year I have been able to take AP courses - my senior year. Grades 9 and 10 the school I attended did not offer AP courses, and grade 11, when I transferred to a public school with AP courses, I was unable to take them. My previous school did not let us choose classes so I was at a pretty normal pace for a high school junior, and my counselor strongly recommended against APs.
So now, my senior year, I am taking 3 AP classes and have been able to raise my GPA above a 4.0. Now that you have some context (that hopefully makes sense) - will the academy consider that I am at a disadvantage in my class ranking, considering that most, if not all, of my peers ahead of me in class ranking have been taking APs since grade 10 or 11, when I was unable to?
