Cool. There goes my chance of getting into Pharmacy.
Anyway, what it means by the 10th and the 90th percentile. Can
someone care to explain? Haha. I only looked at the table but never
read the text.
Imagine 100 students made it to Medicine. Rank them from the
top (100th place) to the lousiest (1st place). In 90th place
(near the top best), is a student who got A,A,A,A. In the 10th
place (near the bottom lousiest), is a student who got A,A,A,A.
So you can roughly take the 10th percentile as the cut-off
point. But as far as Medicine is concerned, it's a moot point. Coz
every year over a thousand AAAA students apply for medicine and
there are only 200 places each year.
