You've got a pretty good chance though. Don't forget that.

If you have two more years to get the grades back up and reach the top 10, I don't think that you should be giving up quite yet. How large is your graduating class?

Our class this year has dropped to 86 I think it is. Yeah I know its small, but think of this. We all know each other personally and have to deal with any quirks in our friendships that are caused by this such school work.

Wow, 86! That's awesome...that would be a huge switch from our class of 820 people. Yep.

Yep. Sure would.

Haha. I think it would be a tad easier to get into the top 10 at your school than it would be at mine, Sauron...er...Brent.

Maybe so, maybe not.

I'd say easier. I mean, my dad was valedvictorian (sp) in his class of like 100 with all As except one B (they didn't have - and +). Here at Wayzata I think you need a perfect 12.0 to get to be #1, and like 1 A- to be in the top ten unweighted and like one A- with a ton of AP classes to be top ten weighted. We have what, 62 or so people who have 12.0s currently in our grade. 'course, we still have 3 years, plus this term, to go down.

Ya. Seeing as I already have an A-, I'm not going to be Valedictorian, unless by some twist of fate I ace all of my AP classes and they do it by weighted grades.
I think I will be mad if our valedictorian is someone who chose to do easy classes, and got A's in all of them.

Could happen though. Though not extremely likely. If they're taking all easy classes, chances are they're not an A student.

That's true. But they could also be the "so-called A-student" trying to BE valedictorian. That person would be utterly dumb.

It's up to your own interpretation. Just what bugs me about people from bigger schools is that they usually try to make themselves sound smarter than someone who attends a smaller school in the same position as they are. When you think about it, the smaller school could have all Albert Einstiens while the larger one has all dumb and dumbers.

Yes, I know that. But what is harder is you do have more smarter people competing with you on average. Not always (you could have a school full of bimbo-heads), but usually.

Key words: on average. But that's like how our football team beats schools that are like 3 to 5 times larger than us when "on average" they should have better players. Hum.....

Hum yourself. We had 5 people from our school get football scholarships this year, which is huge, even for us. So large schools can be good at football, just like small schools. And they have different divisions for big and small schools in Sections and State, so small schools with an average graduating class of 50 dont have to play schools with an average class of 800.
