aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi, My letter writer is having a hard time filling in the form to U of Oregon. In the section that asks to rate the applicant, each dropdown menu gives you this percentages in order (Upper 1-2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, Lower 50%, No basis) Which is the highest and which is the lowest? Please help immediately because she is already bored with filling in all these forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeBackZinc Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Email the graduate assistant and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It sounds like 1-2% is the highest. I can't imagine they differentiate between 98-100%. It sounds like they're asking: "Is Rose one of the top students (1%) or is Rose average (50%)" Of course the only way to be 100% sure is email the graduate assistant.

fuzzylogician Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Upper 1-2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, Lower 50%, No basis Upper 1-2% -- in the top 1-2% (of the class, the prof's former students, etc); ... Lower 50% -- less than average. You could contact the school to ask, but I think this is pretty clear. (No one will care or even ask if a student is in the lower 5% or 1-2% of the class, and conversely not care where the student ranks in the top 50% of the class; it makes no sense.)

aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Well, thanks for your input. I e-mailed the dept. but I hope they reply soon. I think it's ok if the letter is submitted a little later than the deadline, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
