well, let's say that there are 100 people in your class in dental school. the 50 worst of them ultimately decide that they aren't cut out for it and drop out. you, who were previously in the top half ranked 26th, now graduate in the bottom half.
Being ranked 26th when 50% wont ever be dentists is still very bad.
