How does a school's attrition rate affect class standing?

Post by Drakefan12 » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:22 pm

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can explain how the attrition rate of a school affects the class standing of those who remain in the school for their 2L years. For example, if I needed to finish in the top 20% of my class in order to maintain a scholly, would my class ranking be adversely affected by a 5% attrition rate if I were on the cusp of that 20 percent? Would those students who fail out not be counted toward the class standing and thus pull me away from the percentage that I need?
