Getting pretty annoyed with my school's policy not to release actual ranks but just percentile bands.

Do the admissions office recognize that someone with a very high GPA is well above top 10% even without an exact rank?

I just feel as if this process is slanted. If a school represents one way it might tip the scale whereas another might not...

and schools probably have enough data points over the years to make inferences. this is their job after all
