if you go below that ranking after the first year, then you aren't eligible for the scholarship anymore
11:25
if that is wrong someone please correct me! I just know for sure that it's a very strict condition in the scholarship
i got offfer from one school which tells me top 50%
i guess 70 is better than 50% right?
15:59
@Futurelawyer22: noo i think 50% is better
15:59
may be wrong tho
top 50% is a harder scholarship to maintain. It is better to be top 50% in terms of grades, but easier to stay in the top 70%
