Pretty much my experience as well moving from Russia to the US. Team sports and social deviance seem to dominate the popularity hierarchies of American schools (as of 2003). In Russia being the top student is respected instead.

Don't underestimate the importance of team sport. The good thing in the US is that team sport is huge for women too.
