[quote=Anonymous]Before the application process began, I told my kids that there are approximately 21K high schools (both public and private) in the US. For 21K high schools, there are 21K valedictorians and 21K salutatorians. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc typically have around 1900-2200 slots to fill in each year's new freshman class. If all 21K valedictorians applied to Harvard, only 2K would get in if that was the only qualification (which also means no salutatorians get in). Forget about just high stats kids - odds are that even the best students in the country will be rejected. [/quote]
