Re: PANIC!! 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread - 2012
Checking in!
We only have 2 exams in the fall worth about 15% of our final grade so not quite the same high stakes but still nervous. I heard from an administrator that the faculty was going to get our grades to us exceptionally early this year which was clarified as "before February"
Civ Pro - 8 hour severely word limited take home. Feel like I absolutely destroyed it. To this point I can't think of anything I wish I would have included, so hoping for the best. Classmates felt it was challenging so that might mean I missed shit, but hopefully not! The nature of the test though probably means a tight curve around median regardless.
Elements (Intro to Law basically) - 3 hour in class word limited. Feel less good about this one, but still pretty solid. I hear the curve is always tight on this one so the risk isn't too bad, but I'm still hoping for above median.
GL to everyone as grades trickle in!

I feel exactly the same way. I have only one final to go: Con Law on Thursday. In the meantime, I keep feeling like perhaps my Torts or Civ Pro finals were poorly written or maybe inadequate in length. I have no idea what to expect and it's causing a lot of stress.odoylerulez wrote: I feel like my GPA could be anywhere from 2.7 to 4.0. Safe to say, this is going to be a long few weeks.

Have abso-freaking-lutely no idea how I did. Hoping for the comfy 3 B+s, but who knows maybe I got all Bs or all As. None of them were as bad as I thought they'd be, but then again, maybe everyone else thought that or I totally missed some stuff.
Going to be a brutal wait, regardless.

Re: PANIC!! 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread - 2012
plan on finding a job while waiting for grades to come back - but need some help with a few things. On my resume, should I have my undergrad gpa? Put my law school and expected graduation date? basically what do I need to change (have not updated resume since law school applications)
Also, could anyone give me a cursory lesson on cover letters (what is it, what needs to be in it etc) and hustling? Is it okay to apply for jobs without grades etc.? - if this is all easily accessible info elsewhere, sorry... ill search if you yell at me

Dude. It takes a truly incredible and rare creature of a professor to dock someone for spelling. Relax, I'm sure you're fine.God, all I want for Christmas is not to get docked or penalized for spelling on my torts exam. FUCK.

All this info is definitely on here. Does your CSO not distribute resume/cover letter materials? I know HLS has a lot of good samples online, if you need help with them. At CLS we have a standard resume format. I know NYU does the same thing, but you may want to check in with your school to see.nucky thompson wrote:plan on finding a job while waiting for grades to come back - but need some help with a few things.

My school disables the "grades" tab until January 2nd. No need to panic until then right? Right.
Meanwhile I dream about my stupid outlines and issues I missed on exams . Make it go away. Ugh.

There should be a name for the act of recognizing an issue the second the "Congratulations!" screen pops up on examsoft. I know I've suffered this fate a couple times already.

This made me check my "grades" tab. I was expecting nothing, but instead got my legal writing grade. I nearly had a panic attack.Pleasye wrote:My school disables the "grades" tab until January 2nd. No need to panic until then right? Right.

For you guys getting legal writing grades, do you have yearlong legal writing? Or is it just this semester? Mine is yearlong so I'm not really expecting a grade now, but I really have no idea...

Agreed! How about "a moment of despairity?" It's a moment of clarity that reveals a disparity between what you know and what you wrote that causes you to despair.Domiii wrote:There should be a name for the act of recognizing an issue the second the "Congratulations!" screen pops up on examsoft.

Curve is to a 3.0, so I'm right smack dab on the median. I was hoping for better, but I'll take what I can get. I hope so too!AssumptionRequired wrote: Dang, sorry to hear that! (Assuming B+ curve?) Hopefully your other grades make up for it!
