What is the best possible class rank I can achieve?

Question

I am a incoming junior and my class rank is not that good. My current cumulative class rank is 160. What is the best possible class rank I can achieve if I get really good grades my Junior and Senior year.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

There is no good answer to that question.  Your class rank is not only dependent on your GPA, but on the GPAs of everyone else in your class.    There are a lot of students who start taking high school seriously only after freshman year, so the competition may start to increase.  If you do get better grades, you will probably see your class rank rise, but how far it rises depends on your personal performance and the performance of the rest of your class.  Also, having a class rank of 160 means nothing if we don't also know how many students are being ranked.
