<p>Everywhere he applied, so like i think harvard, yale, princeton, cal, ucla, stanford, and a few others. He didnt need a safety.</p>
<p>He has something like a 4.0, 4.7w, and is one of the best debaters in the nation. Anyone who debates heard of Arsani Williams? Yeah, he's going to stanford.</p>
<p>Oddly, our only harvard acceptance isnt on there nor are our 4 upenns or 2 cal techs. I'm on the lower end of the top 25 percent but im giong to U of M</p>

<p>I graduated in '06 and for that year and the year before, both vals went early decision to Georgia Tech. This year's val got into a ton of schools and just got off the Duke waitlist, so that's where he's going. His brother was the valedictorian a few years before and he goes to Vandy.</p>
<p>It's strange though because our vals typically don't go to great schools. We've had students go to Brandeis (me), Rice, all of the Military Academies, UNC, NYU, Emory, and MIT, but never the valedictorian or the salutitorian. In fact, out of all of us who went to those schools in the past 3 years, only 2 were in the top 20 people of the class (one to West Point and one of 2 to MIT).</p>
<p>Our school has certain requirements besides GPA for val/sal. They must have attended the school's junior high (we have preschool-12th), and must have a good balance of leadership, community service, and character.</p>
<p>Based on what I know, if it was based solely on GPA, the sal would be this person who's attending UPenn.</p>
<p>In the past, our non-vals tend to be accepted into better schools. Last year's Val was rejected from Stanford, while two other people (top 10%, probably around ranked 10-15 out of 120) were accepted there. This year, other great non-val/sal acceptances included: Columbia SEAS (ED), USC, UCB, UCLA, Haverford, JHU, and NYU.</p>
