<p>does being valedictorian or salutatorian help at all when it comes to getting into a college?</p>
<p>of course. are you a val?</p>
<p>i might be. depending if i get straight A’s next year</p>
<p>btw how much would it help?</p>
<p>I don’t think the name itself helps that much. IMO, in a class of say 500, the difference between 1, 2, and 3 is pretty insignificant as long as the grades are in the same general range (which it seems they are, as you said you may drop down next year). What’s more important is the fact that you probably have a fantastic GPA and are in the top few people of your class.</p>
<p>Speaking on this subject… iss the difference between class rank and 5 and lets say 15 a huge deal if the only reason is because of a B in freshman year but stats afterwards are very similar?</p>
