To Which Schools Did Your School Valedictorian Get Accepted?

<p>My val and sal are both going to Georgia Tech. And the val last year went to UVa.
Most of the top 10% at my school go to UNC (including myself), unless they choose NC State, since I live in NC.</p>

<p>the valedictorians(class of 2008) at my school are going to:
Stanford
Berkeley
Princeton
MIT
Duke
Cal Poly
Caltech</p>

<p>Last last year, (class of 2007) it was:
Berkeley
Stanford
MIT
University of the Pacific
Duke
Harvard
USC
UPenn</p>

<p>It is strange, some of the nonvaledictorians got into better schools than the valedictorians. Other people got into Yale, Wash U., Rice, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins…</p>

<p>I’m my school’s valedictorian, deciding between Yale and Harvard. Last year was JHU, year before was Yale, year before was Cornell.</p>

<p>2005-6 Val: MIT
2006-7 Val: Harvard
more kids got into Notre Dame, U Chicago,
2007-8 Sal: Northwestern (also got in Chicago, Georgetown, BC)
more kids got into Stanford, MIT, etc.</p>

<p>We don’t do valedictorian at our school, but I can probably guess who it is.
Anyways, the vals and sals are usually the all-Americans, and the ones that get into ivy league schools are the nerdy Asians (except me) :slight_smile:
Here’s the list of schools people have gotten into at my school (no one got into HYP this year). What’s surprising is that a lot of people are giving up these schools for our state flagship, and since half of them are going there, I don’t want to compete with those people for the top spot. Asian strategic thinking in full effect here:
Amherst , Williams, MIT, Stanford (I think), UPenn, Chapel Hill (full-ride), Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Berkeley OOS, Ann Arbor, Notre Dame, Wesleyan, Middlebury, etc.
Me? The only thing worth mentioning is I got in Stern BPE (I heard it was very competitive to get into this year, but I could be wrong) and got a GT from Cornell AEM. I’ll be attending BC, which will give me a good college experience without straining me financially or academically, and if I want to, I could just transfer to Cornell after my first year.</p>

<p>My school’s valedictorian has been accepted to Princeton and Northwestern. I don’t where he’s going, though.</p>

<p>Rank:School</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth: attending Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton: attending</li>
<li>Berkeley, UChicago: attending Berkeley</li>
<li>Duke, Johns Hopkins, Cornell: attending Duke</li>
<li>Penn: attending
13: Yale: attending</li>
<li>Penn: attending
26: Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia: attending Yale</li>
</ol>

<p>Valedictorian: BC, Trinity, Wake Forest, Uconn…Rejected: Vandy, Tufts, georgetown.</p>

<p>I think the vals at my school are going to Penn State Schreyers, Hamilton, and maybe Lafayette? We have one kid going to Cornell and one to Columbia, but they are recruited athletes. My schools fails.</p>

<p>I’m a junior, so I’m not as familiar with this as I should be… </p>

<p>The val this year is going to Vassar. Rejected from Princeton, and it was the only ivy he applied to. He’s very… non-commercial. </p>

<p>I honestly have no idea where the sal is going, or if she’s even made up her mind. I know her older brother goes to UNC Chapel Hill, and she was very interested in going there as well, but I have a feeling she’s going to end up at Georgetown.</p>

<p>The girl in the number five spot got into the best schools; Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, UVA, Vandy, NYU. Rejected from Georgetown and Yale. She’s going to Duke. </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the senior class this year is sending about 10 kids to NYU. Other than that, everyone’s pretty much going to end up at Hofstra or a community college.</p>

<p>My school has a wacky GPA cap which produces ~20 #1s. The school officials then rely on the unweighted numerical averages of those who rank first to determine the val and sal. It is, therefore, entirely possible for one to become valedictorian without taken the most rigorous courseload. </p>

<p>Val (taken ~6 AP classes, unweighted average: 99.123)-got into Washington University in St.Louis, Colorado School of Mines, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M - attending Texas A&M on a full-ride
Sal (taken ~11 AP classes, unweighted average: 99.121) - got into HYPS -attending Stanford</p>

<p>2007 Valedictorian - Attends Princeton University
2008 Valedictorian - Attends MIT
2009 Valedictorian - Would soon find out…</p>

<p>At my school I think it’s Colgate and Duke and Cornell…</p>

<p>The only Ivy out of about 200… and last year there were none, I’m pretty sure.</p>

<p>Our valedictorian got waitlisted at Yale and accepted to Amherst, I believe. She’s going to UT Austin pre-med, however, since she’s getting a full ride (they love in-state students, especially when they’re #1 at such a competitive public school). </p>

<p>The #3 from last year (is there a name for them?) was accepted to Duke, but actually transferred to Baylor after the first semester because he hated the environment. And he fits the normal Duke student, so it was definitely surprising.</p>

<p>My valedictorian got into Princeton and John Hopkins. She went to Northeastern University on a full ride.</p>

<p>our val got into NO ivies or top LACs
but the kid who’s like 6th or 7th, but was a NMF and got a 35 ACT got into yale and every other school he applied to</p>

<p>Previous Years:
2007 - University of Texas at Austin - Dean’s Scholars Program
2008 - UT Austin - Plan II Honors Program</p>

<p>This Year (2009):
The Valedictorian is going to UT Austin, he’s been accepted to their Honors Program. He also got accepted to HBU, as did virtually anyone else who applied. I believe he’s been rejected from Harvard and Rice. The Salutatorian is going along with him to UT. My school’s number three is just going to attend UH. The girl who’s ranked fourth got accepted to the best schools: Duke, Rice, Emory, Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Our senior class has about 500 people but most of them are going to community college or UH.</p>

<p>2009 harvard
2008 stanford & yale
2007 harvard</p>

<p>Accepted-Rutgers
Waitlisted-Darthmouth
Rejected-Harvard, Princeton, Stanford</p>

<p>I’m really not sure why he didn’t apply anywhere easier to get into than Stanford and Ivy Leagues, yet more intellectually suited to him than Rutgers.</p>

<p>Our val only applied to and got into
Stanford
MIT
going to attend Stanford for computer science
He deserves it and we are all proud of him.</p>

<p>Our saludictorian is going to Dvry and believe us is not as shocking as it sounds.</p>
