^^ Only reason I said "be in the top 10" was just from experiences through school..
Going to VCC, my teacher set up a "field trip" to a Arch. Firm, they said they'd hire 1 of the students (out of the class of 30) and funny enough the top student got the job before even gradding. Same thing happened to my cousin, he was 3rd of his class of 70 @ BCIT Mech. Eng. and he got a job before grad. It just helps to show that "Hey, I got straight A+ throughout school."
Doesn't mean everything, but to some people it means alot.
