Best Promotion Ever?

At INSEAD a "class" - like the group of people who all enter the school and then graduate the school together - is called a "promotion." I'm not sure why. Probably from French or some other European language. Because people switch campuses all the time, your promotion includes 450 people - 300 of which started in Fonty and the other 150 who started in Singapore.

One of our core course teachers (I can't remember right now which one) told us that our work was the best he had ever seen. I remember hearing that our grades on exams were higher than ever before (though, for those courses we're graded on a curve, so it really just makes it worse for everyone else...). My friend who grades our papers (for a class that will remain nameless) said that our class had better papers than previous promotions and the current promotion. My strategy professor yesterday told us that we were over-delivering on our assignments. We have seven write ups to do about cases in the class, and we have completed three. He has never told a class that before (who tells a class they're doing too much?). I just got an email that our class raised more money for the "Robinhood Campaign" that gives scholarship money for someone to go to INSEAD, and we also had higher participation than all other promotions. In Singapore 100% of us gave money. Overall, it was over 87%.

So...over and over again people are saying we're awesome. I'm wondering if it's just what they tell everyone or if there's really something special.
