no, class rank (Among many many other factors) is what's important.
For example, it would be better to be the highest ranked person in your class with a 3.5 GPA than 50/100 with a 3.9 GPA.
Besides, how would you evaluate a 3.5 from one school to another? 🙂

If they have gpa they also have rank...it will come w the dean report
Is it any easier to evaluate the top student in a class from one school to another? #20 from one school could conceivably outperform #1 from another school. That's one reason why I am a proponent of the pass/fail system.
IMO it would be much more effective to have a strong standardized testing system in place for specialization (or even job placement for that matter) - not simply multiple choice but something more advanced. Class rank tends to make students not want to work together and I think that's detrimental to the profession of dentistry as a whole.
