Dear teachers: The candidate with/in/of the highest ranking is the desired term. Which preposition is correct? Thanks.

'With' sounds the most natural to me, but I think you can use 'of' too. I'd be more likely to say 'the highest ranking candidate'. Brian _________________ ' Comics for students ... http://www.grammarmancomic.com .
