<p>We don’t have a Valedictorian. There are like 10 ppl ranked number 1 in my school. Last year one of them got accepted into U Penn. The others went to like Drexel and Penn state.</p>
<p>Hey I can finally answer this because I actually know.</p>
<p>2007: Stanford (Stanford liked our school that year. ~8ish people got in.)
2008: UChicago
2009: ??? I know he really likes Columbia and will probably get in.</p>
<p>2008 grads
Val: Boston U. <–weird right?
Sal: Cornell U.</p>
<p>2009 grads
Val: Yale, pending acceptance, but likely
Sal (Me :-p): Yale, pending acceptance, but unlikely, so probably Cornell, Dartmouth, JHU, or UR</p>
<p>'08 val: all in-state public & private (tx) as well as Auburn (where he is now)
as an engineer, currently a Disney Imagineer intern (yes, he is amazing)
REJECTED by all Ivies, Stanford, etc. despite many stellar extra-curriculars and near-perfect gpa/sats, 4 years (+ leadership) in band and key (service) club, church, etc
'08 sal: not really sure, but she goes to University of Texas on a full ride in the competitive Dean’s Scholars program working on her pre-med
'09 val & sal: pending, accepted to all in-state public/private w/ scholarship
i hope i am sal at least ('10) pretty darn close!</p>
<p>our valedictorian is going to the University of Virginia.
our salutatorian is going to Vassar College.
not THAT impressive</p>
<p>08: </p>
<p>Val - Wharton ED
Sal - MIT EA
Others in top 5%ish: CalTech, Princeton, Penn, Harvard, another MIT, Yale, Columbia, Cornell (a lot!), JHU, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, NU, Dartmouth, Duke</p>
<p>07: </p>
<p>Val, Sal, and another girl: Princeton
Other top 5% similar to above</p>
<p>It’s a tough act to follow…</p>
<p>Me? I’m hoping for a Penn ED acceptance on Friday :).</p>
<p>08:
Val - UCLA
Sal - CLU (full-ride)</p>
<p>07:
Val - UC Santa Cruz (full-ride), she got into Berkeley, UCLA, etc though
Sal - UCLA (got into UC Berkeley also)</p>
<p>09:
???</p>
<p>My school is only about 12 years old, so ppl usually don’t get into Ivies cuz they usually don’t apply there :/</p>
<p>this is disgusting…i cant believe any of you care where other people’s valedictorians are going or have gone. This is when you know you are addicted to CC…</p>
<p>oops the 08 Sal went to UCLA too, i was thinking about #3</p>
<p>He’s going to Brandeis.
Got into NYU.
Was waitlisted at Columbia, but isn’t everyone?<br>
And was accepted to a ton of other not so well known schools. Didn’t apply to any other Ivies.</p>
<p>I was 2nd - Got into the University of Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, Seton Hall - didn’t apply to any Ivies.</p>
<p>This year:</p>
<p>So far…</p>
<p>Rank 1- Caltech EA
Rank 2- Stanford SCEA
Rank 3- Stanford SCEA
Rank 4- Stanford SCEA</p>
<p>At my school the last four valedictorians have gone to Rutgers. We get about one person every three years that goes to an Ivy/equivalent.</p>
<p>he got accepted to Princeton through Questbridge!</p>
<p>Our valedictorian and one other from our class of 13 (yes, 13) have been admitted to Notre Dame and named Notre Dame Scholars … so far…</p>
<p>my val got into yale, my salutatorian got into upenn.</p>
<p>2004- CSULB Full Scholarship
2005- UCLA
2006- USC
2007- UCLA
2008- ??? (Applied to some ivy league schools as well as liberal arts schools)
As the val in '08, I have decided to change colleges after less than a semester at Cal.
2009- ??? (He applied to Stanford, UCLA, Cal, but no ivy league schools)</p>
<p>Our valedictorian ALWAYS goes to Wright State, a public fourth-tier college with about 17000 students and the bottom half of our college-prep class. I guess the deal is free tuition+living at home and commuting an hour to school= a good deal? I don’t get it, because our non val/salutatorian students always go to places like OSU honors and always a couple that go to Miami ( there’s only about 75 in our school’s graduating classes, so that might explain some things), and there’s always a couple that go oddball places like fourth tier universities in Kentucky, liberal arts colleges that no one has ever heard of, and a large proportion spend their time mulling around Community College and they NEVER LEAVE!!! </p>
<p>So, depressing but true. The sad tales of small-town America live on here (although I will admit that as of now I couldn’t ask for a more perfect high school or group of students to spend my life with.)</p>
<p>Oh, sounds familiar. We usually have five or six valedictorians from our high school every year. Many are children of wealthy parents who could afford to send their kids anywhere. Yet they all still opt for the free ride to LSU!</p>
<p>What a waste!</p>
<p>ok, im going to be a valedictorian and i def. don’t think a free ride is a waste…im going to Michigan State U. with either a free or almost-free ride, thank you very much…i picked it over some ivies b/c i liked the atmosphere better-def. NOT a waste</p>
<p>2006 Valedictorian - Duke University
2007 Valedictorian - UNC-Chapel Hill
2008 Valedictorian - UNC-Chapel Hill
2009 Valedictorian - Haverford College</p>
<p>Hehe. The 2009 valedictorian is a little random, eh? 
Guess who that is…</p>
