Where students stand (academically) in the college's class and if/how that matters

I don’t think this segmentation works at a lot of schools. Not everyone at MIT/Harvard/Stanford/etc. is going to be in the top 5% of their college class., unlike HS.

And some kids find that really hard to handle - going from top of the class all their life to middle of the pack or even the bottom. That in itself can have an effect on confidence and academic performance.
