you need to convey? I guess I'm not really understanding how having the Valedictorian title does anything else except shortcut the process for a reviewer to find out how high the GPA is.

My school did it but because my kid was so awesome they gave it to him anyways. I would just tell your daughter to be

Ask if they will also do away with scorekeeping for all athletic events

I don't fall into the freaking rich CB'er bracket, so Ivy league is only

You have her junior year ranking and that’s the one that will go on

Valid point; colleges make entrance decisions before val/sals are decided.

good point, we will have to get her official transcript right after this school

No one who applies to college applies at the valedictorian. She'll simply list her class rank as #1 and will be good.

From my perspective, I see a difference in the effort necessary

What do you mean by "find a way to get the grade"? I was kind of thinking that

In a very large class, you have to take every AP/Honor class you can

Sounds like she should fight for the recognition then. I'm with you.

I agree

Suggest that the school implement this starting with the incoming Freshman class

Why can they do it for the Sophomores and below?
