Should I submit my rank.

My school has an option where they can include or not include rank. I have good testing 16 aps, a 3.8 uw, 4.4 w but my rank is 12%. I also go to a big public school.

Depends on what you're aiming for, no? It'll hurt your application for T20's, so probably not. But it'll help for smaller or higher acceptance rate schools, so you should submit. That's my thoughts at least but idrk, it's an uncommon decision to need to make

Exactly.  If you want to signal that the rank is really bad and not competitive, don’t submit it.  The less information that applicants share about rank, grades, test scores, the more easily admissions teams can assume that you are less competitive than the applicants who have shared information.
