Top student to me means #1, the one at the top. I am sorry, if I misunderstood, D’s school did not rank, we knew her rank based on her GPA and class profile, they used “top student” label at graudation when she got awards. They did not use label “valedictorian” or any other either. Couple top kids from her school go to Ivy every year. D. went to state because of trmendous opportunities (in addition to $$). It is amazing that #1 would not get into State Flagships. But times are changing, D. has graduated 3 years ago.
