<p>Update for my son’s school – large public with unweighted scale, typically sends strongest student kids to top 20 schools.</p>
<p>Vals this year (all 4.0s) – Columbia, Yale, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame.</p>
<p>Lol this thread makes me feel like a slacker</p>
<p>@goldandblue92 Me too.</p>
<p>Small public. Does not weight individual class grades.
2012 Val: MIT
We don’t have sals.</p>
<p>Debategeek: isn’t a little bit early for your schools 2013 val and sal to be saying where they got in?</p>
<p>Don’t know about 2012, but in 2011, two valedictorians went to Dartmouth/Berkeley. Salutatorian went to Berkeley as well.</p>
<p>Small public highly rated hs with weighted GPA’s:</p>
<p>For 2012 Val: U Maryland athletic scholarship
2 Sals this year: George Washington and the other Vanderbilt
other top kids: UVA, Ohio State, UPenn</p>
<p>Ours got into:
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Oxford
Cambridge</p>
<p>varying scholarships to all of them</p>
<p>^ Harvard, Princeton, and Yale do not offer scholarships. Oxford and Cambridge might not either.</p>
<p>2013:
Val: applying to Duke, WashU St Louis, etc
Sal: Moi, the application list is endless but top choice Columbia RD, NEOMED or UChicago EA
3rd: apparently, from seeing this thread (yes, I know who you are mister), Yale SCEA</p>
<p>2012:
Val: NEOMED
Sal: Rice
3rd: MIT, accepted into all Ivies except Dartmouth and Yale </p>
<p>2011:
Val: OSU (Go Buckeyes!!)
Sal: UPenn
Some guy not even in top 10 got into Stanford, Brown, etc (he was a computer GENIUS)</p>
<p>2010:
Val: Notre Dame
Sal: Cornell</p>
<p>This thread made me more anxious o_o
Ahhhhhh!</p>
<p>My school, due to how competitive it is, typically has about 50-60 people with cumulative 4.0s, but only 15-20 of those have perfect weighted GPAs as well; they’re all basically considered valedictorians.</p>
<p>Most of them last year I didn’t really know, but as for the ones I do, this is what I know:
-Going to Princeton; also got into Harvard
-Going to Stanford
-Going to Stanford
-Going to some liberal arts college I can’t remember the name of
-Going to the Air Force Academy
-Going to UPenn</p>
<p>2010: 2 Val
1a. Accepted to Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill OOS, but went to UF due to financial reasons
1b. Accepted to Vanderbilt and attending</p>
<p>2011: 3 Val
1a. Accepted to UPenn and attending
1b. Green card or visa was revoked, attends the University of Toronto
1c. Full-ride at University of Miami</p>
<p>2012: 1 Val
- Went to UF… nothing else comes to my mind in terms of acceptance. </p>
<p>Traditionally, students who were not valedictorian but in the top 10 were more successful. Like we pretty much had a demigod of an college prospect in 2012, but he took band classes with reduced his weighted GPA and he got ranked 3rd despite having all As.</p>
<p>Last year valedictorian was accepted to every Ivy league school with full ride to Yale but declined it for Harvard.</p>
<p>Harvard, Duke, Rice and a few others. Turned down Harvard for a full ride to Duke.</p>
<p>@michaellax28 - Harvard doesn’t give merit aid, only fin aid. Getting a full ride to Harvard only means that you are poor.</p>
<p>Also my school stopped naming the valedictorian this year. To be honest I have no idea where the ones before went</p>
<p>2012 Val: Accepted to Duke, Cornell, Brown, etc. Going to Duke
2012 Sal: Accepted to UPenn, UMichigan. Going to Michigan
2012 Sal: Accepted to Yale, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Rice, etc. Going to Rice on full ride
2012 Sal: Accepted to Rice, WashU, Vanderbilt, etc. Going to Alabama for financial/family reasons</p>
<p>Don’t know much about the previous year, but I know that the val went to University of Chicago</p>
<p>Two years ago the valedictorian of my school went to NYU on full ride</p>
<p>Last year the valedictorian went to University of Delaware, probably on a very good scholarship, if not full.</p>
<p>Not sure about all of the universities my school’s valedictorian was accepted to last year, but he is currently attending Harvard.</p>
<p>Over the past two years…Our valedictorians went to Harvard and Villanova. Both basically received a full ride…But some of our top ten last year went to Georgia Tech, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and MIT.</p>
<p>2013-Me-I’ve gotten into Georgetown so far. Applied to Harvard and UChicago.</p>
<p>2012-Pratt Institute
2011-NYU
2010-CCNY Macaulay Honors CUNY
2009-CSI Macaulay Honors CUNY</p>
<p>Do you see it?</p>
<p>UW Madison
U Michigan
U Alabama (currently attending)</p>
<p>Rejected from Harvard, his top choice. Seriously no one understands how. He had a 36 ACT, enough APs to enter college as a sophomore, a few national and international writing awards (=great essays?), president of several clubs, NMF, the list goes on. Still rejected. I don’t think my school has ever sent anyone to an Ivy League school or equivalent. We must be cursed.</p>
