I guess this whole "well they all tied with their 4.0" confuses me.

I can assure you that some of those kids earned their A's with high 90s while others slipped in with their 90-92s.
Yep. Everyone thinks they are special. |
This is exactly why my high school did away with valedictorian stuff. We all got class rankings on our transcripts, but the senior class president always does the speech at graduation. To be honest, our senior class president was probably in the top 10 of our class anyway.
