Who cares about absolute numbers?
Every country or even uni has a different grading scheme.
Some places you need 75 for FCH. Some places 80.
Hence Harvard LLM and Oxford BCL ask for your class rank.
Let’s face the facts. If a university gives out an excessive amount of 80 and everyone is getting 80, then your 80 could mean you’re just ranked in the bottom 25%.
If a university gives 80 to only the top 1%, then I think the person is good.
Topping a cohort in any university including delisted is a difficult endeavor.
In the history of the Oxford BCL, only 1 Singaporean (as far as we are aware), has obtained the Vinerian scholarship for topping the BCL cohort, despite countless number of Singaporeans doing the BCL every year.
