Class Ranking (exams)
Now that exam results are beginning to trickle in, time to see how everyone ranked. Feel free to add feedback.
Edit: Since the Top 1% is skewing high, perhaps some folks are optimistically predicting, so the poll has been revised to allow recasting your selection, in the event it is necessary.

I get the whole "TLS self-selects towards stronger students" crap, but the top 1% number is a little high.

Re: Class Ranking (exams)
Is there revoting allowed? I want to see the distribution, but I don't have enough grades released to state with enough specificity.

Re: Class Ranking (exams)
You know, the top 1% can be as many as 6 people in the class. That's probably why so many people are selecting it. There really should be more specific options.

Sadly, for some people, Top 10/30/50% can be "seriously unemployable."

Re: Class Ranking (exams)
I made the assumption that most exam grades would be available this month. Is this a valid assumption?
Mine are due in early Feb, so I figured by mid-Feb everyone would certainly have their results.
I also made the assumption that the top 1% and seriously unemployable would be sparse, so far zero for two! In any case, you can recast your ranking (in the event you were predicting your rank).

Update: I received two grades, both A. So I figure I can check top 25% for the moment.

This should change soon since many exam grades are finally being released. I presume some will modify their outcome to reflect actual versus predicted.FeelTheHeat wrote:Love that no one is at median

Re: Class Ranking (exams)
I think I've been around TLS to feel confident about a few things:
1) Very few of us are smart enough to be top 1% at most schools.
2) Most of us are narcissistic enough to think we are top 1% at every school
3) Most of us are intelligent enough/scared enough to top the median.

Re: Class Ranking (exams)
Third grade is in, another A. . . if anything, I am consistent. Not sure where that places me but I’m thinking top 25% for the moment. There are undoubtedly a lot of factors in play, but none as essential as the fourth grade.

Stop underselling yourself. 3 A's, you should be solidly within top 15-20% even with a median 4th grade unless your school inflates like crazy.Kirk wrote:Third grade is in, another A. . . if anything, I am consistent.
