Up for Adoption

Don't be surprised if the classifieds in the Sunday paper reads
Up for adoption. Only section A, C, D and E are eligible to apply.

I mean, I love my parents and all that and I really am not thinking about changing them. Its my section at B-School that I have a problem with. "Why?" you ask. Good question. No they are not mean to me. No they are not boring. No they don't eat human meat. And they definitely have no aversions towards Bengali's. In fact, they are actually funny. They make great friends. And they are cool company.

Then "Why? Oh! Why?" you ask.

Well, here goes... The reason is... That... They are BRILLIANT. No I'm not kidding you. They are too good for me. I mean sample this, it is a class of 70 odd people, give or take a few. We all gave our mid term papers, many of them common with other sections. And this is what statistic has to say.

Quant paper. Total marks 50. The section highest 50. Section average 40. The paper was common across all sections. Take the average across all sections, and the class average is 35. Wouldn't you call that unfair?

Managerial Economics Paper. Total marks 100. The section highest 97.5. Section average ~84. Standard deviation 8.something. The paper was common across 3 sections. Section average in another section with the same paper is 73.

Financial Accounting Paper. Total Marks 40. Section highest 28.5. Section Average 13 (I thought this will be comparable). Common across 2 sections. Section average in other section is much <13 class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">no one will choose me. But what the hell man. It'll still make me feel good to put up that ad this weekend. I am still up for adoption.
