Worse is what happened to me:
I was a transfer student the first day of my junior year (last year) and because i hadn't spend 4 semesters in this school they weren't "allowed" to sum me up a GPA or class rank. If I hadn't complained (and this is me, not my parents), I never would have made the National Honor Society or have had an "estimated" GPA and class rank. You guys have no idea how pissed I was. I kept telling them to calculate me one, right now so they can see that I deserved to have all of those things, they looked at me like I was just another low-achieving student looking to waste their time. It's funny how teachers and administrators treat students. Once they fidgeted one for the next day, they almost kissed my feet and tried their best to make their apologies please me. I almost laughed. Anyway, this was toward the end of my junior year and my GPA was only half-arsed. They still couldn't officially make one, and our class ranks didn't come out till beginning of October of our senior year. I was mad, but everyone was on the same boat so I figured I would save my breath for later.
The beginning of that summer, I had an epiphany and realized that I very much wanted to attend this academy, but I couldn't complete my online preliminary application since I had crucial paperwork missing. I got mad but there was no one from school with whom to talk to so I waited. Towards the end of the summer, I felt like I was way behind on my application so I calculated my GPA and class rank (to the best of my knowledge) and had to submit it (It turns out that my calculations didn't give me justice, but I'm glad they met the board's preliminary's minimum). Come September, I start training for the CFA and started fighting with my counselor about how I needed a class rank blah blah blah. It goes on for about a month until everyone else's GPAs and class ranks come out and mine are still being disputed. The school gives in and decide to give me a GPA and an "estimated" class rank (which just means that I'll know where I "ghostly stand next to my peers.") and realize that I came out to be number 9 of 299 and with a GPA of 4.12. Congratulations blah blah blah... "how is it useful to me?" i asked. I could send it to colleges, but only say that it is estimated.
whatever, I finished my application and now I'm here.
So in conclusion- Schools are out to get us! haha kidding, but they can give people a hard time.
...that was long
