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.
but isnt' law even less?
medicine took in 260, law only 230
