The top 100.
Every quarter.
Real college has a Dean's List that comes on a paper letter you throw away. Ours is a public leaderboard, refreshed every quarter, showing the top 100 Forkaia students by score gain and shipped work. Employers scan it. Alumni brag about it. Students grind for it.
The current Dean's Board.
Ranked by Forkaia Score (300–850) as of the quarter close. Top 30 shown below; the full 100 is visible after signing in. Every student on this list is available to hire — click a name to see their live transcript.
The score. The gain. The proof.
Rank isn't handed out. It's earned across three dimensions, weighted, and recomputed at the end of every quarter. No grade inflation, no legacy, no professor's-pet advantage.
Where you started vs. where you are now.
Freshmen who move from a 480 → 720 rank higher than seniors who stayed at 780. Trajectory matters more than static achievement.
Real deliverables employers verified.
Tasks completed inside portfolio companies, weighted by difficulty and employer feedback score. No paper assignments. No "case studies."
Nominations from Guild members & PiRs.
Peers in your Studio and Practitioners-in-Residence can nominate students who mentored, unblocked, or lifted the cohort. Culture, not just output.
Not just ranked. Ranked and named.
Every student on the Board earns an honors title. Employers know what each one means. It goes on your transcript, your credential, and your commencement announcement.
