In a graduating class, the highest-ranking student is the valedictorian and the second-highest is the salutatorian, with other students listed in numerical order (third, fourth, fifth, etc.). In addition to grade average, class rank is one of the key criteria considered by colleges in evaluating students for possible admission. However, a student who was 20th in the graduating class of a highly competitive science- oriented school may be considered more favorably than some¬ one who was 10th in graduating from a small central school; though in practice, college admissions teams would look at a variety of measures in assessing a student.
