End of Year Stats
September 30th sees another landmark for RateMyPlacement; no, its not that Oliver has lost the final hair on his head, Ali hasn’t been officially classed as a midget and Chris hasn’t become the major shareholder in Party Rings. Instead it’s a year since we had our first employer advertising on the site, and RateMyPlacement made it’s first revenue!
October 1st 2007 was the date we “relaunched” the website from being a Loughborough Business School review database, to a national website allowing companies to advertise their schemes alongside our unique student generated reviews. Now, heading into the new academic year with 2.6 full time employees we aim to raise the awareness of the website to as many students following in our footsteps.
Below are the stats that sum up the past year:
8,085: Hairs lost by Oliver since RateMyPlacement launched
5,121: Number of registered members
4,682: Total miles on Oliver’s car in the last 3 months
£3,348: Amount given away to students in prizes and incentives
829: Total number of reviews
507: Party Rings eaten by Chris since launch
104: Universities with students who have registered on RateMyPlacement
88%: percentage of reviews rated 6.0 / 10 or above
86: Number of meetings we have attended in the last year
85: Facial hairs grown by Chris since RateMyPlacement launched
36: Universities met in the last 3 months
34: Wrong turnings in the last 3 months
32: Highest number of reviews we had in one day
21: Petty arguments caused by spending too much time with Sid in last 3 months
18: Companies who have advertised with us in 2007/2008
9.0 / 10: Average score of our higest rated employer, Samworth Brothers
5′1″: Height of Ali
1.7: Lowest rated review
It’s been a cracking year, with loads of highs (and a few lows!) along the way. We’ve come a long way since meeting up in Loughborough Uni Library all those months ago, and can’t wait to find out what the next year has in store for us….
