+1. All guidance will say is that the student is in the top 2% of the class. IF the student stays on track, they “might” be a valedictorian.

Not true. If a school ranks, the kid will know that he or she is in the running for Valedictorian.

My Val kid got into more than 4 t15 unhooked, picked a top ivy. The Val year before was shut out of all T20. The difference? Rigor. Val only matters if the Val took the hardest classes

Seems weirdly mid-tier/try-hard to do this.

Does Vanderbilt still like them? Lots of valedictorians from NC seemed to go there with a lot of merit aid

Any universities that just love valedictorians - either in terms of merit aid or seems to be an extra advantage to getting in?
