Convert class rank into a percentile and decile within a cohort.
Percentile counts those below while top percentage counts your position from the top, so the two are complements. Universities usually state requirements as a top percentage rather than a percentile. Rank means little without cohort size: fortieth in a class of four hundred is top ten per cent, while fortieth in a class of fifty is not.
