At a minimum, applicants to the top 20 schools are expected to be in the top 10% of their class (there are always exceptions). Beyond that, not much else. Valedictorians have a slightly higher acceptance rate than everyone else, and there is a perceivable trend the higher one goes in the top 10%. But these schools reject 36 ACT Val/Sal all the time, so it probably won’t be a tip factor so much as a helpful one.
