<p>strange thing happened. one classmate of mine has practically the exact same transcript as i do (the subjects of the classes differ but our grades and honors, AP leve etc are the same)</p>
<p>i'm ranked number 1, but he says he is too..</p>
<p>so does that mean there are two people who have rank 1s?? i mean.. is this possible? i always thought only one person holds a specific numbered rank.</p>
<p>or did my school mess up?</p>
<p>If it works like most other ranking systems, you will both be number one, the next student will be number 3. My son's class had 8 number 1's.</p>
<p>For two number one's your grade point averages would have to be the same which seems possible -- that would mean there could be more that two!</p>
<p>Right now I'm #1.. and there are 3 other people that are also ranked #1. So there are 4 people tied for valedictorian at my school currently. </p>
<p>So yeah, you can have more than one.</p>
<p>Yeah it says it right on the Common App school report. "What is this student's class rank... How many people share this rank?" So obviously colleges are anticipating this practice.</p>
<p>yes 2 yrs ago, our school had 2 valedictorians.</p>
