Overview

Calculate your class rank percentile by entering the total number of students and your rank. Useful for college admissions, scholarship applications, and job applications.

Formula

Rank Percentile (%) = (Rank / Total Students) x 100. Example: Rank 15 out of 300 → (15 / 300) x 100 = Top 5%

  1. 1Enter the total number of students in the class.
  2. 2Enter your rank (position).
  3. 3Click 'Calculate' to see your rank percentile.
  4. 4Review the result to see what top percentage you fall in.

Tips

  • Do not confuse rank percentile with percentile rank — they are inverses.
  • Tied ranks may be calculated differently by institution.
  • Scholarship eligibility typically requires top 10-30%.
  • Calculate department rank and overall rank separately.

FAQ

Q. What is the difference between rank percentile and percentile rank?

Rank percentile means 'top X%' — lower is better. Percentile rank means 'scored higher than X% of students' — higher is better. For example, top 5% equals the 95th percentile.

Q. How are tied ranks handled?

Typically, tied students share the same rank number. For example, if two students tie for 3rd place, both are ranked 3rd and the next rank is 5th.

Q. How is class rank used in Korean college admissions?

In early admissions (수시), the grade rank (1-9 scale) from school records is primarily used. In regular admissions (정시), CSAT standard scores and percentiles are the main criteria.
