Let's talk about grades and averages: I just found this grading table at the KUL's website, and it seems that some people graduate with 19 and 20 as their average. Is this possible? Do you guys know anyone who graduated with 20 as their average?
Post Body

I'm an international student following a master at the Faculty of Social Sciences, and as some of my classmates, I'd also like to have an idea on how well/not that well I performed in my courses based on my class, but it seems that the KUL is just unable to give us that information, so I looked at those tables (general grades: https://www.kuleuven.be/english/education/ects/positioning and grades per faculty: https://www.kuleuven.be/english/education/ects/positioning/perfaculty) and I kinda felt bad for myself.

Is it feasible to graduate with 20 as your average? In my universiy (I studied Law), the first place of the class (1st/150 students) usually gets 17/20 as their average, because it's just impossible to have something beyond that, but how does it usually work at the KUL? I know that those tables belong to 3-year Bachelor Programs, and from my understanding, if you're following a master's is just impossible to compare your results with your classmates because those kind of grading tables just don't exist, right? (unless you literally ask each of your classmates what was their average, hah), but I suppose that the master's results will normally look kind of similar than those 3-year Bachelor´s? If I'm doing numbers correctly, having 20 as average = 100% of achievement, and having 19 = 95%. Is this feasible to get?

Finally, based on your friends/classmates (I know this will vary depending on the faculty, but I'll ask it anyway), what is usually the average grade of the first places of the class? I guess 16 would never be a first place's average, but maybe 17 or 18 could? I don't know, I'm curious.

Thanks!
