Re: “In neighboring Fairfax county, the #1 ranked high school in the United States Thomas Jefferson high school also withheld national merit recognition.”My son had a 4.46 GPA but was not in contention for Valedictorian because he graduated in 2017. Fairfax school district eliminated Valedictorian a year or two before.

I wouldn't be surprised if this played a role in his not being accepted by an Ivy League school even though he applied to all of them and had a much higher high school GPA than any of them did among the students they took. I don't think any of them had more than a 4.1 average.

To its credit, Yale put Joey on its wait list, but that didn't go anywhere.
