Only because we are majority, you are minority…
Managed to wake up at 7:30 a.m. today. Huh! Today, we received the marks of our first mid-term examination in ISB (Statistics). Was not surprised to see my score…It was proportional to the effort that I put in…Hmm, I guess I got the exact average figure…
Later in the evening, an interesting conversation in this regard.
My friend asks..”Dude, how did you perform in Stats?”.
Me: “Hmm..ok, I got the class average mark.”.
He: “How much did you get?”.
Me:” X ( a figure)”.
He:” How do you know that it’s the average mark?”
Me:” Because I am an average guy and Averge guys get average marks!”
He: “??@#!%!%”…
Another conversation:
Friend 1: “How much did you get in Economics?”.
Friend 2: “I maxed out.”
Friend 1: “Well, I got one mark less than max..”
Friend 2: (Looking at me…) “Dude how much is yours?”
Me: “I got slightly below average mark…” and I continue…
Me: “Remember, only because I am below average, you are above-average. You guys owe me!”…
More statements on the similar lines.
Friend 1: “Only because we IT guys are in big numbers here, you CAs and enterpreneurs are diversity candidates.”
Friend 2: “Only because we are majority, you are minority!”…
Sometimes, it’s fun to have such conversations…:-)
Fun aside, we had an Introductory session on Career Advancement Services (CAS). CAS will be THE important unit for all of us. They will assist us in fine-tuning resumes, preparing us for interviews, case-studies, dressing, matching our profiles with recruiters etc., Some important goals of CAS this year are increasing the international offers, increasing the offers in consulting firms and attracting firms from diverse backgrounds. I have my first one-on-one session with CAS on June 17th.
Nice one liners….:)

Dude, you are average b’cos of us below avg folks
In a demented sort of way, success makes sense only when others fail!

Dude, for those of us not at ISB, what were the average and highest marks in the stats test? Was it a time constrained exam, one of those where it’s almost impossible to answer all question in the given time?

Thanks B….
Well said anon!
Harish, the test is a time-constrained test (2 hours). But you wouldn’t need 2 hours for the test…You have ample time to attend all the questions…I am not willing to discuss the highest and lowest marks..
