Hey guys i have a question. I'm filling out my application at the moment but i've come across a problem. I don't know how many people graduated from my school and I don't know what place I came in. Is it okay if I left it blank. Also, it asks to upload a picture. Would it be okay to use a picture of me at the beach? I'm in a bikini, but you can barely see any skin because i'm lying down. Would that be inappropriate still?

I'd forego the bikini pic. If you took senior pics/portraits, and had a nice headshot taken, I'd upload one of those.

Agreed. As for class rank you can probably find that on your high school transcript. Contact your high school.

Does your school district have a website? They often have enrollment figures for schools. OR, do you know how many students approximately were in your graduating class? Multiply that by 4 (unless freshman are still in the junior high). Some high schools do not have class rankings, your high school might be one of them.

Excuse me; but if she doesn't know how many people graduated in her class, and she doesn't know what place she was in her graduating class, how is what you're suggesting going to help?

It's kind of like when Yogi Berra said, "If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer."

Thanks so much for all this information! It answered any possible question I may have. I'm preparing already for next fall recruitment when I become a sophomore.

Arghh-I plead insomnia and fuzzyhead syndrome. I SHOULD have said take the total enrollment figure from the school website, if available, and divide by 4 (if freshman-senior classes enrolled there) to get an approximate class total. But a moot point now.
