<p>Semester grades are in, and that's the cutoff for val/sal at my school. I've lost by a hundredth of a point. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? I know it's an honor to be second. My school is competitive and challenging, and I've worked hard, but it's a little disappointing to be SO CLOSE and not reach your goal.</p>
<p>Also, I lost STAR student by 10 points on the SAT to the same person. Haha fml</p>
<p>Some people will say you’re being crazy, but I think your reaction is quite normal. That’s too bad, man, but you are still in an excellent position. good luck</p>
<p>That’s a normal reaction for being the 1st loser.</p>
<p>nah, it’s always normal to be disappointed when you lose. </p>
<p>however in your case, you didn’t really ‘lose.’ you still won. high five for the hard work!</p>
<p>It’s all good nephew, aint nuffin wrong with bein the sal.</p>
<p>Alright honestly val/sal doesn’t matter after graduation. I don’t really remember who last years’ val/sal “winners” were (then again my school has like 10, so it’s hard to keep track), and I don’t care.</p>
<p>I mean I’m not saying it’s not okay to be upset; it makes sense if you had your heart set on val and everything. But keep it in perspective.</p>
<p>This will not still be bothering you a year from now. If it is, I’d say you are not having nearly enough fun in college.</p>
