<p>Seeing the post by “toledo” above reminded me that the valedictorian of my class, many years ago, went to the University of Toledo. Lame! I wonder if she regrets it now.</p>
<p>There are two girls, co-valedictorians this year and no salutatorian.
(Actually I heard one of the girl’s GPA was a decimal point higher than the other girl, but they were still named valedictorians.)</p>
<p>09:
UPenn ED
Brown ED</p>
<p>08:
Val: Syracuse
Sal: UNC-Chapel Hill</p>
<p>07:
Val: Accepted at Harvard, but going to Georgetown
Sal: Don’t know</p>
<p>I think one of my friends will be named valedictorian if she keeps her straight-A record. She wants to go to Dartmouth or Princeton. :)</p>
<p>My school is extremely noncompetitive and me going to Caltech and eight going to Northwestern is the best a class has done in years as far as getting people into extremely competitive universities. Our high school is basically designed to attempt to get people into UConn and has very little experience with more competitive schools.</p>
<p>I already listed the general idea back in April, I think. Just came back to update. The following are the colleges that will be attended by the top 5% of my class:
1 Yale
1 Rice
1 MIT
1 Princeton (Valedictorian/my friend)
1 Stanford
1 Cornell
2 Northwestern University (my being one)
1 Harvey Mudd
1 Johns Hopkins
1 USC
1 Boston College
1 College of William & Mary
12 UC Berkeley
6 UCLA
1 West Point</p>
<p>This year’s valedictorian at my former high school is attending Columbia. It’s a pretty big deal, because I don’t think my school has sent anyone to the Ivy league in 7 years or so, and that was to Cornell. Last year the biggest to-do was made about an acceptance to Notre Dame (made all the more sweet for that guy by the fact that it’d been his dream school his entire life).</p>
