[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the time a student is named valedictorian, they were accepted/rejected into their colleges months prior. [/quote] It comes up because when any student with a 4.0+ submits their transcript with applications, it shows a rank=1. DD was very mindful of this during a lot of struggles in junior year. She just barely squeeked into the 4.0. Just slightly lower and her transcript would have a rank in the 200s vs. a rank=1. yes, colleges look at the overall classes and individual grades but she didn't want the 200s rank. I think they should just not report rank at all. The term 'valedictorians" only comes up at graduation and I don't know why people fixate on that. But, as PP said, they could just label the 4.0+ group something else like "magna cum laude"[/quote]
