<p>What is your class rank or approximate decile?</p>

<p>I would opt to major in either finance or accounting, rather than marketing or economics, assuming you would find the former enjoyable.</p>

<p>Definitely in the top 10% probably if I had to guess 6th or 7th out of a class of exactly 100 students. Very small school, but we don’t do ranking.</p>
