<p>people at our school compete for the lowest rank…</p>
<p>the person 1200/1200 prolly wouldnt even know they were 1200/1200 because they dont care</p>
<p>Don’t most schools give a general rank if it’s that bad? (eg: 1000+/1200) That way no one would have the “honor” of being last.</p>
<p>mine does 
i told one of my friends to get his rank paper and he was 602/610</p>
<p>I was 15 out of 650 last year at the end of 2nd semester.</p>
<p>You’llsee… you’ll see. Watch your back, nobody remains val forever. ;)</p>
<p>(just a joke)</p>
<p>personally i have other goals besides caring about how im ranked compared to others</p>
<p>Valedictorian doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, mostly because at my school the teachers grade really easily so even someone with a 1600 SAT can get above a 4.0. It’s mostly a competition to see who can take the most AP/H/college classes, rather than who can get the highest grades.</p>
<p>At my school, the valedictorians have done really well. The past three years, the valedictorians have gone to Stanford, Harvard, and Yale.</p>
<p>My county got rid of valedictorian/salutatorian this year.</p>
<p>2nd/360-something ^^V</p>
<p>hooray for no ranking!</p>
<p>no, its not my goal. because there are 27000-odd high schools in America alone and that means there are 27000-odd valedictorians. Selective schools can’t admit all of them, and not all of them have impressive EC’s. I remember reading somewhere that being valedictorian only increased your chances of admission at collges by 5%. I would assume that number is even lower for selective schools, because the pool is so much more impressive.</p>
<p>However, it would be a nice bonus to know that I’m on top.</p>
<p>Used to be my goal. Now, it’s not. I just want to learn.</p>
