<p>lol I'm the only person who got into Ivy Leagues/top colleges like Duke, but I'm not ranked first or close</p>
<p>most kids from my school have a history of going to pitt, psu, or their honors colleges which are great schools anyways</p>
<p>EA to Harvard... and got it.</p>
<p>Our school's valedictorian gets voted based on who the seniors want to listen to at graduation, it's not academic...but last year he went to Yale.</p>
<p>Val and #4: Brown
Sal and #5: Penn (the class couple)</p>
<h1>3 and #15: MIT</h1>
<h1>7: U of Chicago</h1>
<h1>8: Cornell</h1>
<h1>9: Johns Hopkins</h1>
<h1>10 and a few to Duke</h1>
<p>Almost whole top 10% to UF (Bright Futures!)
A few to Nova Southeastern (Dual Admissions)
Everyone else to UCF and FSU</p>
<p>Florida public schools <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Oh yeah.
2004
Val: Penn
Sal: Northwestern
2003
Val: Harvard
Sal: MIT
2002
Val: Penn
Sal: Columbia (I think)</p>
<p>3 Vals at my school:
*Me: UC Berkeley (Deferred-Rejected at Harvard)
*Harvey Mudd (Waitlisted at Harvard)
*University of San Diego</p>
<p>2 Sals:
*Both UCLA </p>
<p>~For some reason UCLA is big at my school (not that there is anything wrong with that), the Val last year went there as well</p>
<p>the best story is my school:
valedictorian: going to Penn State, Abington! Not even main campus
Sal. going to Shippensberg! What?!?
3- boston college
4- notre dame
Me (5) Cornell
My friend (6) MIT
Other friend (8) U. Chicago
9 and 10 are both NYU</p>
<p>^^ Whoa how did -that- happen?!</p>
<p>My Valedictorian is going to Stanford...EA</p>
<p>My Sal. is going to Yale, but got into Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Brown and some other "easier schools" like UCLA and NYU</p>
<p>Valedictorian - St. Louis University
Salutatorian - Southwest Missouri State University</p>
<h1>3 - Grinnell</h1>
<p>our valedictorian isn't necessarily the smartest. He doesn't do anything but study. Has no friends or social life and so he wanted to stay with his family for college so he's going to a satellite state school.</p>
<p>Val is going to Caltech on a full ride (he's turning down Harvard)</p>
<p>Gonzaga Univ, and a couple state schools. I'm 20-ish of about 350, and going to Claremont McKenna - blasted class rank. It means nothing, lol.</p>
<p>When I graduated:</p>
<p>Val: Cornell
Sal: West Chester Univ.
3: U of Arizona (turned down Berkeley)
4: PSU main
5: PSU main
6: Villanova
7: Dickinson
8: PSU main
9: Vassar
10: PSU main</p>
<p>As you can see, my HS sucked. Go me.</p>
<p>'05 Val: University of Richmond
'04 Val: WUSTL</p>
<p>Our '06 Val is probably going be a girl who will be going to Samford in Birmingham, AL, because that is where her friends are going.</p>
<p>05- naval academy
04- MIT
03 - Yale</p>
<p>Sorry, but I do not want to create a new thread..</p>
<p>When the ivys recalculate grades, do they use A=90 (4.0), B=80(3.0), C=70(2.0), etc?
Or 93-94+= A (4.0), 90-93= A- (3.7), 83-90= B (3.0), 80-83= B-, etc? (OR SOMETHING MORE SIMILAR TO THIS?)</p>
<p>05- yale
04- yale
03- davidson (belk scholar)
02- harvard</p>
<p>killer: they use whatever is specified by your school. anything else would be pointless.</p>
<p>I've heard of some schools recalculating, but I can't imagine anyone has specific data. I'm also not sure that each ivy does this (if any actually do). Classss rank seems like a much better indicator. If no rank is present, then I'm not sure.</p>
<p>our val is going to stanford</p>
<p>05- Pretty sure he's going to Brown
01- NYU
00- Brown</p>
