<p>Jackberm, post his stats. Accepted at HYPSM and Caltech? That's pretty damn impressive.
REALLY impressive.</p>
<p>this is for class of '07, i'm class of '08</p>
<p>Valedictorian is going to University of Maryland College Park
Salutorian is going to The United States Naval Academy in Maryland</p>
<h1>3 is going to Johns Hopkins</h1>
<h1>4 is going to University of Maryland College Park</h1>
<p>and the class president is going to LaSalle College.</p>
<p>It's weird, no one at our school goes to ivies, yet we're a private institution (religiously affiliated) and we dish out the smartest kids in Maryland. I think it will be hard for me, because I'm applying to all the ivies, MIT, Hopkins, and I'm only #28 in my class :X out of 300.</p>
<p>Yale EA...but he got recruited because he's a wicked fast runner.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley........</p>

<p>LaSalle is a complete joke.</p>
<p>Val: princeton
sal: college of the holy cross</p>
<p>well i dunno all his stats, but hes a genious. was intel finalist, got siemens award for AP (best male AP record in MD) got gold in IOI as junior and silver as senior. smartest person I know except for the other val, who also got into every college he applied to (HYPSMC etc). hes also a math genious, and got a perfect at the IMO as a sophmore.</p>
<p>o yea the math guy was also an intel finalist, and both went to rsi</p>
<p>val: harvard EA. also got into yale, stanford, duke, dartmouth RD. rejected nowhere
2 sals: 1 to stanford EA, applied nowhere else. 1 to emory with a big scholarship</p>
<p>val is going to ucla
sal is going to berkeley</p>
<p>My classes val. got a full ride to Brown, which he took, but it's in-state, so that might have had something to do with it.</p>
<p>val/class president went to haavaad</p>
<p>YuYukachoo, I'm not sure what you mean because first Brown, and all the ivy league schools, do not give "full rides". They do pay for everything if you are extremely poor but that's not a full ride, that's financial aid. Secondly, Brown's a private school so state residency doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Haha. We have so many valedictorians every year at my school (Colorado, non competitive, public) because of the requirements, that none of them went to like amazing schools. My freshmen year one got to Penn, but that's the only Ivy I think our school's had in a long time. This year, we had 7 valedictorians and most went to CU Boulder, one to Portland, maybe Regis - all Colorado or western schools. My class of '08 has like 14 valedictorians currently. See, our requirements are only this:</p>
<p>-Complete all 22 credits for graduation
-Complete 17 academic credits (in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Langauge)
-Complete two years of a foreign language
-Take 7 AP/honors course throughout high schoo
-Maintain a 4.0 GPA, unweighted.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, I thought the DEFINITION of a Valedictorian was the person with the highest GPA in the graduating class. The Sal is the 2nd highest. </p>
<p>How can a school have 14 Valedictorians? That's ludicrous. That's "honors graduates," not valedictorians.</p>
