What happens if you graduate in the middle?

Post by redgreenpaper » Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:38 pm

What happens if you graduate with the middle mark of your class at a somewhat better than average school? Does it mean you don't get a job?

Yes. Employment opportunities are directly tied to class rank.

Shit so how come people don't just drop out in 1L after the realize they are below half the class?
