<p>We have 2 vals. One accepted to Penn, Brown, and Johns Hopkins BME (attending Penn), the other is going to Cornell.</p>
<p>The IB Valedictorian is going to the University of Oklahoma.
The VPA Valedictorian is going to Oklahoma City University.</p>
<p>none of our Val’s EVER go anywhere impressive… it’s almost always the “unexpected” students who go to nicer school.s</p>
<p>My valedictorian got accepted into Tufts and possibly better but she declined it for financial aid reasons (she had a 27k gap for Tufts!) for Boston University. At one point she was contemplating community college.</p>
<p>not sure where else they got accepted but the top two from my school are going to penn.</p>
<p>At my friend’s school:</p>
<p>Val: UChicago
Sal: Yale</p>
<h1>3: Columbia</h1>
<p>Val: Wash U St Louis
Sal: Cornell</p>
<h1>3: Bowdoin</h1>
<p>This year noone got into any ivies but Cornell, as opposed to last year when the Val got into Dartmouth and the Sal to Yale.</p>
<p>our val is goign to temple school of art</p>
<p>There are about 19,000 high schools in the U.S.</p>
<p>Val and Sal would then number 38,000.</p>
<p>There are about 10,000 spots open at the eight Ivies each year, with about 2,500 of those spots going to recruited athletes, legacy, and other (mostly URM) hooks that are not academically driven. </p>
<p>So that leaves 7,500 spots open for academic high achievers.</p>
<p>Therefore, only ONE IN FIVE Sal/Val could ever fit into one of the eight Ivies. Add in all the other schools in the Top 20 of USNWR, there are still more Sal/Val than ALL THE SPOTS in the Top 20.</p>
<p>Conclusion: a large number of Sal/Val will not gain admittance to an Ivy, or a Top 20 school.</p>
<p>Two Vals- one going to Brown, one going to Yale.</p>
<p>Princeton
Duke
Emory
… some more.

<h1>4 - Yale</h1>
<h1>5 - Stanford</h1>

<p>My school doesn’t rank… but here’s where the county Valedictorians from the 7 High Schools that do rank are going:
UNCx5
Dukex1
Princetonx1 (URM)
Some small 80%+ school x 1 </p>
<p>There were actually only 2 people other than the Princeton dude to go out of state from the 12,000 graduating people in my county. I believe they’re just moving… not going to Ivy League etc…</p>
<p>We don’t have a val, but the person who was it: </p>
<p>Berkeley
Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>Between val and sal:</p>
<p>MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Berkeley, Dartmouth, Tufts, JHU, Duke…</p>
<p>This year the Val is going to Brown, the Sal to Cornell</p>
