Hey,

So I was talking with my dad that all I have to do is keep my grades up, and I will be Valedictorian. He told me “while that is great, because my HS is not as competitive on the whole, only in the IB/AP/ College courses, it probably won’t mean much in admissions.”

How much does being Valedictorian or Salutatorian help in admissions, if at all?
