at my school, in order to get a 1st class honours degree, one must be in the 97.5 percentile. in other words, each year there'll only be 7 to 8 students out of a class size of 300 who will graduate with a 1st class honours.😱

anyway, how will it show to others? i mean, i've never seen any doctors with a MD (Hons) in their degrees; i'm not sure if it's not conventional to put it that way, or if it's just too difficult to achieve? i do, however, have seen british doctors with MBBS (Hons); MBBS is their equivalent of the american MD.

does the "1st class honours" actually show on the diploma?

It doesn't matter and, aside from the leverage doing well gives you when it comes to matching, nobody cares.

why don't you ask your office of student affairs or read the student handbook?

For what it's worth: My school does not even have such a designation. I had never heard of this until your post.
