<p>Does anybody’s 3rd ranked person go anywhere of similar caliber? I’m third and I blame it on my very competitive class… If I was in the grade below me I’d be ranked 1st. </p>
<p>2010 Val UB
2010 Sal Elmira</p>
<p>2011 Val Yale
2011 Sal Colgate</p>
<p>Yes Swimfreak001 – many of the top 10%, much less top 3 people, go on to great schools, but obviously it depends upon the high school. </p>

<p>To answer the above post regarding the "full-ride to JHU…it is to my understanding and I’m nearly one hundred percent confident this is true that they do not offer merit money and that any aid or scholarship help the student is receiving is need based.</p>
<p>aww really :(</p>
<p>The top handful of academic students at my boarding school went, almost without fail, to Harvard. This always bothered me a little. Could they have been happier at Yale or Stanford or Duke? Who knows.</p>
<p>I can confirm JHU gives some merit aid, but it is extremely hard to come by. I’ll link it later but it’s not too hard to find on the website.</p>
<p>how do you have more than 1?
ours is going to cornell</p>
<p>Swim, we have a kid goin to Upenn who got a C+ final for a core class frosh year, a few Bs the next 2 years. Ranked maybe 15th?</p>
<p>2008 to 2011 vals: New Mexico State University.</p>
<p>I guess I stand corrected. I thought the only scholarships they provide were through the Baltimore Scholars program, which again isn’t really merit based.</p>
<p>2010=Harvard
2011=Princeton</p>
<p>Mine’s going to Richmond. Blech.</p>

<p>Wow, I’ve never heard of a school having more than one val/sal…</p>
<p>Community College…</p>
<p>…he kind of deserved it.</p>
<p>2010: UC Berkely
2011: Harvard
Can’t remember the earlier ones.</p>
<p>My school almost always has multiple vals, so there’s quite a range of places. There were six of 'em in 2009, if I remember right. Most common is Univeristy of Washington, but we “sent” a chick to Harvard a few years back, which was a big deal. The class with six had a pair go to Columbia and Dartmouth, too, so… yay us?</p>
<p>XelbMS – what did he do that made him “deserve” community college?</p>
