<p>IB doesn’t have Valedictorians but, probably one of our tops students got into Princeton, Harvard, and Yale.</p>
<p>Our valedictorian got a 30,000 dollar scholarship to go to Georgetown NHS, but he also got a 30,000 dollar scholarship to go to Johns Hopkins as Bio. He is going to NHS for International Health.</p>
<p>This is the college that each attends. I am not sure where else they were accepted.</p>
<p>2007:
Val: Harvard
Sal: Colby</p>
<p>2008:
Val: Boston College
Sal: Dartmouth
3rd: Cornell</p>
<p>The valedictorian at my school is going to Texas Wesleyan. It’s a small, pretty much open school in Dallas. He’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. He moved to the United States from Mexico in middle school and by senior year he was acing AP English Literature. Just goes to show you that what school you go to doesn’t define you. Just because you got into Harvard doesn’t mean you’re smart. It’s a lot deeper than that. There are probably hundreds of people like this across the country who can’t afford higher education and are stepped on by people who can for the rest of their lives. It sucks, pretty much.</p>
<p>Now I’m all sad.</p>
<p>For the past 6 years, UC BERKELEY</p>
<p>our school is pretty “bad” compared to magnet schools. people get into ivies/stanford only for athletics and quirky talents. its quite discouraging, but 30 usu make it to UCB and UCLA</p>
<p>The valedictorian at my school got accepted to every school she applied to:
-MIT
-Princeton
-Stanford
-Cornell
-UPenn
-Harvard
-Yale
-Dartmouth</p>
<p>She’s going to Harvard.
Really happy for her but no one in school liked how she was bragging about it nonstop.</p>
<p>Students at my school place almost no value on prestige. Three years ago, my school had an incredibly brilliant student (val 35 or 36 ACT and actually autistic) who was accepted at Harvard, but instead he decided to go to Illinois State University. Similarly, this past year, my school had great students with 30+ ACTs and high class rank go to Illinois Wesleyan, ISU, Augustana, and U of Illinois. However, this year my school does have one student going to Northwestern (though not a val)</p>
<p>Georgetown</p>
<p>High-functioning autism probably makes it Asperger’s.</p>

<p>School stats: large, affluent suburban high school in Massachusetts. Sends 1 to 2 students each year to Ivy league. </p>
<p>07 - Penn
The next best student in the class was accepted at Duke. </p>
<p>08 - Harvard
The next best student in the class was accepted at Cornell.</p>
<p>There were few: Princeton, Harvey Mudd, Harvard, Berkeley<-not sure about this one.</p>
<p>Class of 2008(High School)/Class of 2012(College)-This year my school sent 2 to Harvard(Valedictorian and Salutatorian), 1 to Yale(3rd in the Class), 1 to Stanford(not even in the top 15 of our class but somehow got into Stanford lol), 1 to Notre Dame, 1 to Georgetown, 17 to UMich</p>
<p>08:
Accepted: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown PLME, Northwestern HPME, Rice/Baylor BS/MD
Attending: Yale</p>
<p>I go to Oak Park and River Forest High School, my school has a lot of people tied for 1st.</p>
<p>Harvard (accepted)
Princeton (accepted)
Yale (accepted)
Rejected at Stanford</p>
<p>She only applied to 4. Shes going to Harvard</p>
<p>She had a 2400/4.0</p>
<p>Call it bragging, but my profile upon leaving high school was probably the only accomplishment in my life that I was really, really proud of:</p>
<p>I was valedictorian, and got into Harvard, Yale, Penn, Brown, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, UVA, Tufts, Georgetown, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Lehigh, and my state school. Deferred then rejected at Princeton. Overall, 14/15 acceptances. 2390 SAT, 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>Now, here at Penn, my GPA’s near a 3.0 and I think choosing Wharton was questionable. I’ve had a lot of family/financial/personal trauma in the meantime that really screwed me over. I’m trying to climb back out, but it’s a long process. I constantly wonder what things would have been like had I chosen another school.</p>
