<p>Val: UC Berkeley
Sal (me): Princeton</p>
<p>Don’t know everywhere, but at least:
UCLA
Waitlisted at Caltech
Full ride to USC</p>
<p>He took the full ride.</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but I know he’s going to UPenn. There’s another kid going to Cornell, and they’re the only ivy-bound ones this year. </p>
<p>Last year our valedictorian went to Duke, and the one from the year before that went to Yale. No idea who the valedictorian my freshman year was.</p>
<p>My school’s val this year is going to Notre Dame.</p>
<p>My school’s val this year is going to University of Delaware…she got wait-listed from Cornell because she took easier courses to protect her GPA. Other top students at my school that took harder classes are going to Penn and Johns Hopkins. 2 kids got accepted to Cornell but aren’t going.</p>
<p>Val Princeton
Sal community college (applied to only 4 ‘golden ticket’ schools, had 0 extracurriculars, took 15 AP? scores)</p>
<p>My valedictorian sucked, she only got into UC Santa Cruz. We are public but we have several Berkley, Cornell, USC, UCLA, Stanford people who are not valedictorian.</p>
<p>We have two high schools in our district. Don’t know where they were admitted, only where they are attending.
Val–Penn State’s Honors College; Sal—Princeton
Val & Sal–Cornell</p>
<p>Our school had 7 Valedictorians with the requirement being one only needed a 4.0, unweighted.
Two are going to Duke
One to UC Davis
One to Macalaster (over Penn)
One to Cornell
Two to UCLA</p>
<p>We had 4 Sal’s.
One to UC San Diego (over Duke)
One to Berkeley
One to UC Santa Barbara
One to UCLA</p>
<p>Basically, val and sal don’t mean much at our school (My friend and I had the two highest GPA’s, with the most difficult schedules and neither one of us was a val or sal. Luckily, he’s going to Cal on the Drake and Regents scholarship and I got into Harvard and Columbia on a full ride).</p>
<p>Shes going to Duke, don’t know where else she got into</p>
<p>Our Val got into princeton and Stanford and chose Stanford, and our sal got into MIT and CIT and I think chose CIT, but the graduating class at my school this year was known as super competitive an cut throat so many got into pretty prestigious schools</p>
<p>Valedictorian to Princeton EA (also got accepted at Yale and Georgetown, waitlisted at Harvard).
Salutatorian to Cornell ED.</p>
<p>I go to a really crappy public school (about 25% to 4-year colleges out of 350 students) however this year was amazing for us. On top of the Princeton and Cornell, we have two others matriculating at Cornell, one (me) going to Duke, one going to UPenn, one going to Amherst, one to Notre Dame, and one to the Naval Academy.</p>
<p>Valedictorian got into all the UCs, USC, Barnard, and Boston University. She got waitlisted at a few ivies. She is going to UC Berkeley. </p>
<p>Salutatorian got into Yale EA, Brown, Dartmouth, UCONN, and Boston College. She is going to Yale. </p>
<p>Number 4 is going to Harvard, number 6 to Yale, and number 16 to Brown.</p>
<p>Val- Harvard
Sal- Stanford</p>
<p>“I got into Harvard and Columbia on a full ride.” - yeabsweaty - I think “full ride” means different things to different people. Harvard and Columbia do not offer “full ride” merit aid scholarships. All financial aid at these two universities is need based.</p>
<p>From Harvard’s website:</p>
<p>“Does Harvard award merit scholarships? - No. Harvard is firmly committed to allocating resources to sustain our policies of need-blind admissions and need-based financial aid. Our unusually talented student populations — chosen in a very competitive admissions process — would, in any case, complicate the equitable distribution of merit-based awards. However, students last year brought with them to Harvard more than $14 million in scholarships from outside resources, thus enhancing their own financial flexibility during their college years.”</p>
<p>And from Columbia’s website:</p>
<p>“Financial Aid at Columbia is need-based. There are no academic, athletic or talent-based institutional scholarships.”</p>
<p>Val got into:
Boston College
Georgetown
Notre Dame
RPI </p>
<p>He’ll be attending Notre Dame this fall</p>
<ol>
<li>Princeton (2400 sat. Dathmouth, no Harvard, no MIT, Cornell, thats all i know of him)</li>
<li>UVA (rejected everywhere else… im not sure what happened to him)</li>
<li>Duke (2400 sat. John Hopkins, rejected everywhere)</li>
</ol>
<p>Last years was most impressive:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton (chosen)
Stanford
Duke
Cal Tech
Brown U
Davis</p>
<p>She’s not val, but she has the most impressive record. She got into all 14 of the schools she applied to. All of the Ivies, Rice, Chicago, MIT, CalTech, and some others I can’t remember. 2350 SAT, top 1%, Malagasy, female, all-around incredible person who, in my opinion, deserved it. She’s going to Harvard because it was the cheapest.</p>
<p>Full ride at UNC.
And accepted at Duke.</p>
