FYI, in my Matriculation Exam I placed 5th in the whole of Burma.
My contemporary Frankie Ohn (Tin Hla) son of U Tin Ohn, brother of Tin Wa, Tin Bo, Tin Nyo--placed 1st.
He was a science student from Saint Paul's.
I was the only female and the only Arts student in the top 5.
In 1982, NW opened the Fulbright Scholarships to the W again, when his daughter failed her medical school entrance exams in London.

I was the only woman who did so among 3 women in total.
You can buy my dissertation on Proquest.
You can read a summary in Asian Survey.
