So I'm not a math major (obviously...if I were, I'd probably be employed rather than in law skool) but it seems to me that given these data points, one could construct the entire curve. Would anyone good at this be willing to do that? I'm sure it would be helpful to a lot of people, this is one of the biggest law schools in the country.ColtsFan88 wrote:I can give you top 33, 15, 10%3|ink wrote:Anyone have any recent GULC data points?
But they don't release the mean, for whatever stupid reason.
If anyone can figure this out without the mean, I would be appreciative:
Top 33: 3.43
Top 15: 3.62
Top 10: 3.70
My GPA: 3.39

Re: Class Rank Estimator
Not without assuming lots of things (e.g. a normal distribution to grading, as opposed to skewness). A Bayesian approach could be more helpful here, but then your choice of prior is oh-so-critical, and I'd want to read up more on Georgetown before doing that.kckool7 wrote:So I'm not a math major (obviously...if I were, I'd probably be employed rather than in law skool) but it seems to me that given these data points, one could construct the entire curve.

Re: Class Rank Estimator
I'd like to know what top 5% mark for GULC is. Here's the recommended grading curve it that somehow helps.
A 12%
A- 19%
B+ 28%
B 31%*
B- }
C+ }
C }
C- }5-10%*
D }
F }

Re: Class Rank Estimator
Pretty sure that 5-10% is for a B-, not that entire range. Anything below a B- is going to be discretionary, and quite rare. If someone is going to figure this out, it'd probably be best to assume that 7% or so are getting a 2.7 in a given class, rather than a 2.0 or something. In any event, top 5% I can't say, but GULC does publish some numbers. Top 10% seems to be around a 3.7 for 1L with slight variances by section. I'd estimate top 5% is 3.75-3.8.CourCour wrote:I'd like to know what top 5% mark for GULC is. Here's the recommended grading curve it that somehow helps.

Re: Class Rank Estimator
UVA's class rank estimator just got a hell of a lot more accurate.

Re: Class Rank Estimator
Median = 3.02
Top 10% = 3.65
400 Students
I have a 3.91 and it says top 3.5 %
I feel like that would be closer to top 1 or 2% though?

Re: Class Rank Estimator
It's going to depend on the clumping. The math is right for it to be top 3.5%, but I'm assuming that the top 10% grades probably clump closer to 3.75 rather than 3.9ish, so you're probably correct.gwillhunting wrote:Median = 3.02

Re: Class Rank Estimator
has anyone went from 60% in first semester to Top 20% by the end of the year (fall + spring gpa combined)?
Is this possible? mathematically.

Re: Class Rank Estimator
so is this calc generally accurate? Anyone weigh in from using it before getting grades back that has compared it to actual rank?

Was generally close but a few spots lower than my rank.clshopeful wrote:so is this calc generally accurate? Anyone weigh in from using it before getting grades back that has compared it to actual rank?
