My school doesn't have an actual class rank system like most do. It was eliminated a couple years before I got to HS (I seriously have no clue why on earth a school administration would do that, but I digress). Students who have a GPA above a certain cutoff are considered to be in the top 10 of their class. Could the lack of a real ranking system have any affect on my USAFA application?
Also, on a related note, I'm not sure if I really understand the "school profile" the Academy admissions folks use. I know it relates to how many AP classes are offered, average GPA, etc., but is it a quantifiable number or just a general idea of what the school is like?
Oh, and finally, what does USAFA consider regarding unweighted vs. weighted GPAs? Apparently my weighted GPA is 4.5 since I'm in five honors classes, but I had B's in three of them last semester, so my unweighted GPA is about 3.6(?). That's a pretty large spread....
