Nah you should keep it out
If your high school academics were truly impressive - presidential scholar level - I would include the relevant award. Otherwise no.
Would be worthwhile if you were a sophomore w/ little to no experience. As a junior applying for an SA role, though, just focus on your accomplishments during undergrad.
no. try to bring it up on interview though
I probably wouldn't put valedictorian on there, but if you got a 34+ on your ACT you might want to throw that on....many banks I've applied to have requested standardized test scores
Eh, it could go both ways -- which means you should leave it out.
If you were a freshman or sophomore applying for internships, it would be fine / good to include. Now that you're a junior not many people care. Your experience and college academics are what matters. Best to leave out it.
That's about as impressive as going "pee pee in the potty" for the first time.
Leave anything high school related out of your resume. Trust me on this. It's an auto-ding for many. You could briefly mention it in your interviews if the conversation flows towards that subject.
Where did your Valedictorian go? (Originally Posted: 01/27/2017)
I come from a Semi-target (Think NUS, NTU etc) and last year, the Valedictorian of my school went to a local bank's Management programme. Now that's impressive and all but my initial image of Valedictorian was some one that would be in some high flying bank (my perspective might be skewed)
So I was wondering...where did your school's Valedictorian go? Unless you're the Valedictorian of course, then...what are you doing now?
I never thought my class's valedictorian was that smart (1200ish SAT) but he's actually doing pretty well. Tenured professor at a major university in Liberal Arts. Considering how brutally competitive that is nowadays, that's super impressive.
Not sure about college valedictorian, but high school went to non-target university to Ivy Law to Corporate Law.
Oh didn't read OP that closely. I was talking my high school hah.
Valedictorian? (Originally Posted: 05/11/2010)
How do colleges decide on a Valedictorian for the graduating class? I imagine that there are always a good number of people that graduate with a perfect 4.0.
Number of A+ is taken into acct.
At least at Princeton
I was told that most colleges don't select a valedictorian, could have been misinformation?
