In an application to US Colleges and Universities, what does the class/school rank precisely mean?
In my school, 115 have taken commerce in 10+2, and the rest 135 have taken science. I have taken commerce. So do I need to write my rank out of all the students in commerce only, or out of the whole batch (that is, 250 - even those who have different subjects )
this is for the application form for us universities when also giving the sat scores, essay and so on.
some established sources with the respective answers will also be desired.
Thanks in advance

In the US, class or school rank means where the individual student ranks overall within the graduating class. The GPAs of all students in the class are calculated, and the student with the highest GPA is number 1. High school students in the US do not specialize in specific subjects.
Some US high schools do not calculate class rank - for instance, the high school my children attended does not. In this case, the transcript reflects that fact - because the student cannot provide that information.
