<p>A somewhat interesting result: At my child’s school,

  1. 36 % of Natural Sciences majors are in the top 30% of the class.
  2. 26 % of Humanities majors are in the top 30 % of the class.
  3. 27 % of Social Sciences majors are in the top 30 % of the class.</p>

<p>Who said the science class/major is hard?! :-)</p>

<p>I apologize that the result of my cut-and-paste operation does not look good. The last number of each row below is the % that I referred to. I include these numbers just to show that I actually located these numbers from some site.</p>

<p>Note: It is actually “in the top 29 % of the class”, not “in the top 30 % of the class.”</p>
