<p>U of…Oregon? Oklahoma? Ottawa?</p>
<p>Update</p>
<p>Just recently found out yesterday a few other valedictorians at my school will be attending:</p>
<p>Aquianis College, Duke University, and some LAC ( cant remember name)</p>
<p>Our valedictorian is attending Miami University. He got rejected from HYPS, WUSTL, and a handful of other top schools; I get the feeling that he wasn’t a very well rounded applicant (his app didn’t show any particular passion). On the other hand, people from our top 10 are attending Harvard, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, etc. It’s kind of a crapshoot around here (valedictorians from 2007 and 2008 both attended Harvard).</p>
<p>There is a senior (not sure if hes val) who got full paid scholarship to all Ivies</p>
<p>My son’s school doesn’t rank, but here are the destinations of the top few graduates this year:</p>
<p>Northwestern
Tulane
British Columbia
Taipei (Taiwan)
U.S. Military Academy
Vassar
Columbia
Brown
Rochester
Wellesley
U.S. Air Force Academy
Bard
Princeton
Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>After that, most of the rest are going to one of three state schools (one first-tier, one third, one fourth). The good news is that out of about 100 graduates, they are all going to college except one to the Marines and one to who-knows-where.</p>
<p>Either he’s poor, you’re wrong, or he’s lying. There’s no such thing as a full-paid scholarship to any Ivy, let alone all of them. It’s their policy. Check it out.</p>
<p>The valedictorian at my high school was ranked ninth in the nation, and was accepted to virtually everywhere she applied too, but matriculated into MIT.</p>
<p>im not sure if its full paid, but he has most of it covered. he could do college level math in elementary school</p>
<p>By whom and in what? And what does the number-one-ranked high school student in the nation get? A scholarship from God himself?</p>
<p>His scholarships must have come from outside sources, because the Ivies don’t award merit scholarships of any kind. They do award based on financial need, however, which why I wonder if he was from a poor family, which would entitle him to a need-based free ride. But if he was that smart, I wouldn’t be surprised if he won one of the big scholarships like Coca-Cola, Intel, Siemens, etc.</p>
<p>o then probably. hes no where near considered to being poor.</p>
<p>Ours is going to U of Southern California but we have kids attending MIT, Stanford, Columbia, and Cal.</p>
<p>We’re in California and most kids go to a CSU or UC.</p>
<p>We had a tie.
Other val: UPenn ED.
Me: Brandeis, UVA, MIT, waitlisted at Princeton and Stanford.</p>
<p>The last two vals went to Harvard and Yale… generally it seems valedictorians get into the school of their choice and no one else gets into a top-tier school :-/</p>
<p>Wow, you guys are making me feel inferior about my school.</p>
<p>2 years ago: University of Michigan Ann Arbor
1 year ago: Duke University</p>
<p>our school is lame and our valedictorians are all the ppl who reached a 4.0 and above. there were 10 of us.</p>
<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>USC (me)</li>
<li>Mount Holyoak (***?)</li>
<li>Santa Clara University</li>
<li>UC San Diego</li>
<li>University of the Pacific</li>
<li>Cal Poly Pomona</li>
<li>UC Davis</li>
<li>UC Santa Barbara</li>
</ol>
<p>I don’t know if I already posted here, but I’ll just do it again. :)</p>
<p>Val: Notre Dame
Sal: University of Washington</p>
<p>In the top 40% of my graduating class, other people are attending Harvard, Columbia, UC Berkeley, Notre Dame, UCSD, NYU (me), Boston College, US Naval Academy and Occidental, to name a few.</p>
<p>The results at my school were a little different than the norm!</p>
<p>Val: University of Virginia
Sal: Small state university—good merit aid</p>
<p>A handful in the top 30 or so students are going to UVA as well, a few to William & Mary, the Airforce Academy, Maryland, Emory, NYU, and a few other state universities.</p>
<p>I’m in the top 16% or so in my class and I’m going to Brown :)! (Rankings are truly overrated after a certain point—it certainly took people by a surprise, no doubt, but it just goes to show you that anything is possible!)</p>
<p>Our valedictorian is going to Dartmouth; I don’t know where else she got in.</p>
<p>But three other kids at our school got into Harvard! 50% the success of our resident super-rich private school with 0% of the cost. Yes, that really is how I’m looking at it. :D</p>
<p>Top 10 </p>
<ol>
<li>McGill University - full ride I think - can’t stay in US b/c of problem with his visa</li>
<li>Middlebury - got into several liberal arts colleges; denied from Yale</li>
<li>NC State</li>
<li>Wake Forest - waitlisted at Northwestern & denied from Yale, Dartmouth, & Princeton</li>
<li>Columbia - ED</li>
<li>UNC Chapel-Hill </li>
<li>Virginia Tech - got into Georgia Tech, NC State, UVA, & Johns Hopkins </li>
<li>Columbia - ED</li>
<li>college in Germany where he is originally from </li>
<li>Davidson </li>
</ol>
<p>Plus my friend who is like #25 got into MIT, a URM probably in the top 25 is going to UPenn and got into Duke & Georgetown, someone else in the top 20 got into Duke, & someone in the top 15 got into Rice & Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>val: tsinghua. got into mit and stanford though.</p>
