[quote=Anonymous]I know TJ does not rank and they do not have Valedictorian for the graduating class but if the kid had the highest GPA or even the 2nd highest GPA at TJ with rigorous schedule (e.g. 11 ~ 13 APs and post APs), could that serve as a "hook" for admission to the top 10 universities like the major accomplishments such as being Intel finalist, major research publication, Math Olympiad member may serve as an "Academic Hook" since TJ is considered one of the best high schools with very rigorous courses and competitive student body? In other words, many people discount Valedictorians since there are thousands of Valedictorians but being no. 1 at TJ would be more difficult than being no. 1 at an average high school. I know the no.1 student will still need very good SAT score, good extra curricular activities, good recommendation letters and good essays but just wondering if being no. 1 itself could serve as a hook.[/quote]
