Stanford Law Application - Rank/Class Size
Apologies if this has already been asked a million times. I'm working on my (completely futile) application to Stanford and I can't figure out how to answer the 'estimated rank and class size' question. My school doesn't even seem to publish the size of the graduating class, never mind rank. Moreover, I went to a fairly big school with a lot of different colleges and mine definitely graded much less leniently than some others. I really have no idea what my rank and class size are--can't even estimate it. Is it appropriate to leave this question blank?

Re: Stanford Law Application - Rank/Class Size
I may be wrong, but I think that information is available via your transcript uploaded on LSAC. Check there. If not, you can call your UG with your student ID and they may have access to that information. But check LSAC first.bananaboat29 wrote:Apologies if this has already been asked a million times.

Re: Stanford Law Application - Rank/Class Size
The academic summary report does not show your rank among everyone at your school - just among other law school applicants from your school who registered for the Credential Assembly Service. You should not use that. I would call the registrar's office at your school and see if they provide it. If not, you can put that the school does not provide it on the application.

When I called Harvard, she said, "What-ev-er. We almost look at that class rank."
I am willing to be Stanford will tell you the same thing.

I called my undergrad schools to ask about this and they said they didn't rank their students. I figured stanford didn't just want to know how big my class was so I put "Info not released"
