<p>Our valedictorian got into Elmira with a full tuition scholarship. Thanks to the Valedictorian scholarship. He's none other than myself. :D:D:D:D</p>
<p>Although there is no official rank in my school, I would say that the top 3 people in my school are going to the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cambridge</li>
<li>Oxford</li>
<li>Imperial/UCL <-- im not sure which one she finally picked</li>
</ol>

<p>The Val for '05 went to Wake Forest but is transferring to UNC-CH</p>
<p>The Val for "06 is going to Duke</p>
<p>valedictorian '04 went to U Penn, i dunno where else he got accepted to.
valedictorian '05 went to Harvard, i also dunno where else he got accepted to.
valedictorian '06 only applied to Harvard (ED), got accepted.</p>
<p>Our val got into: Dartmouth, and Tufts, and a bunch of other schools that I can't remember at the moment. He's going to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>our valedictorian is going to harvard... he got into MIT, i don't know other than that. last year's (milana from the scholar!) chose princeton, the year before he went to harvard.</p>
<p>columbia.</p>
<p>last yr's was cooper union.</p>
<p>this year- duke
last year- no clue
2 previous years- both went to harvard</p>
<p>our valedictorian this year is goin to georgetown which is a big shock because I go to an inner-city high school with a graduation rate lower than 50%</p>
<p>Vale 1: UCSD</p>
<p>Vale 2: CSUSB</p>
<p>Stanford University- ED</p>
<p>Val is going to Dartmouth, not sure where else she got in
Sal is going to U Penn</p>
<p>Hope you guys on the coasts noticed post #243. The whole prestige thing is non-existent in much of the Mid-West. In days of yore, the Val at my Michigan high school was overjoyed to go to Central Michigan University.</p>
<p>i do have to agree with tour guide, last year, out of a class of 620+ senoirs, only 23 i believe went out of state for school, which makes people like me, who don't want to go to states schools, the outcasts</p>
<p>I live in the mid-west and a lot of kids at my school are prestige obsessed</p>
<p>I live in the mid-west and my vals hate what they find "snotty." At least a few of them turned down schools like Princeton, U of Chicago, and Northwestern in favor of UW-Madison. One girl in my class is going to U of Chicago, the rest of the top students are going to Madison. As one of them said "Its hard to justify going elsewhere when prestige doesn't matter to you and you get a great education at a state school price." (ok maybe those weren't his exact words but you get the point)</p>
<p>06' (my class)
1. Duke
2. U Miami (FL)
3. Harvard [Duke, UF, etc.]
8. UPenn
9. UF [accepted to BC, parents wouldn't pay]</p>
<p>Other students going to top schools:
~25. Duke (my best friend, funny enough, he was rejected at every other school he applied - swarth, tufts, cornell, mit...except Duke, UF, and Ga Tech)
~30. Skidmore (this very quiet girl)
~40. Tufts (me!)</p>
<p>Everyone else is pretting much going to UF, FSU, or UCF, even kids in the top 10. :</p>
<p>Note: This was a class of ~575</p>
<p>Class of '06
I know the 3rd in line got into Stanford.</p>
<p>5 valedictorians:
Rice
Georgetown [William and Mary, UVA, Rice]
Wash U [ED; was accepted to SMU, Baylor, Tulane]
LSU [TAMU]
Rhodes [don't know other acceptances]</p>
