Valedictorian

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>If you are the valedictorian can you put it in your college apps? Also does the title guarantee you into a good school such as Stanford, UC Berkley, the ivies, etc?</p>

2

<p>Yes
No - It guarantees nothing.</p>

3

<p>Unless you’re the Valedictorian of a public high school in Texas and hope to attend the University of Texas :)</p>

4

<p>The official transcript would usually indicate your rank.</p>

<p>Rank does not guaranteed anything, like what TheYankInLondon posted.</p>

5

<p>^^ Really? That’s an odd policy!</p>

6

<p>I assume ThisCouldBeHeavn is being sarcastic just to insult Texas for its education system.</p>

<p>However, in California, the UC has the ELC program guaranteeing admission into at least one UC school for the top 10% for each high school if the top 10% meets the criteria.</p>

7

<p>^No, it’s true.</p>

8

<p>Damn you TCBH, picking on the unsuspectecting Englishman!</p>

9

<p>^Noooo, TYiL, it’s real. Top 10% actually I believe.</p>

<p>It’s even on Wikipedia: [Texas</a> House Bill 588 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_House_Bill_588]Texas”>Texas House Bill 588 - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>^^^Oh, that’s interesting to know. So, nvm what I said about TCBH being sarcastic.</p>

<p>This was on the front page of Yahoo at the time. Apparently she and her brother were chess champions, so her father probably had media contacts. I wonder what his CC username is.</p>

<p>5.8 GPA, ha suck it Databox!</p>

13

<p>^My GPA is a 5.6 something. It’s probably just a 6.0 scale. Maybe. Hopefully. I don’t want to believe in someone that impressive.</p>

14

<p>me…4.48. I don’t know how you guys’ schools’ grade weighing system works.</p>

15

<p>What if my ecs are weak but my grades are solid…like top 1 or 2 rank…how competitive am I?</p>

16

<p>^ HSL is ot the best place for to ask that… Chance 'ems on CC are better but are to be taken with grains of salt!</p>

<p>From a personal account, the valedictorian for senior year at my school received acceptance into UC Berkeley and her only EC was tennis. Her academic was strong: she took sufficient amount of AP classes and she scored a 2280 on the SAT.</p>
