Not sure what to do. Stanford contacted me today asking me for my exact ranking but my school only does the top %....

Advice?

Tell them your school doesn't release that information to students, and give them the contact info for your dean/registrar? Let them tell Stanford they can't get your exact rank.

(At least, that is what I would do, but that's not based on experience.)

This. Your school has to know, otherwise they wouldn't be able to form the deciles. I guess you could devise a system by which you didn't match students to their GPAs for the purpose of a ranking list, but that seems like a stretch. Even then, ultimately someone would know (or be able to determine) your precise rank.

asked the same of me, had my school's registrar send S an email confirmation that they don't numerically rank
