According to information on the Harvard website, as well as information found on Harvard's official common data set for the 2016/17 cycle, 95% of admitted applicants ranked in the top 10% of their graduating class. However, it also says on the common data set that only 36% of admitted freshmen actually submitted their class rank (through the link below, page 8). It also says on the common data set that class rank is a "not considered" factor. Does this have any implications on how Harvard views class rank in relation to undergraduate admissions?
Why am I posting this thread ? Partially out of curiosity, but also partially because I am strongly considering applying to Harvard next application cycle, and am debating on whether to have my class rank on my transcript (it is optional to have your class rank on your transcript at my high school).
