I got the exact same grade in all three of my substantive courses. It's hard to gauge based on one individual's grades, but it doesn't feel arbitrary to me.

I'm guessing a B+

Nope. Best grade was the test with a word limit.

My grades were all in the same range, too. I doubt they're really arbitrary.

I noticed my best grades were on exams with a multiple choice component. They also both had word limits. I don't know if I just got more multiple choice questions correct than most of my peers, if I packed more analysis into the word limits, or both.

Are you even in law school?
blah, blah, blah

I care not for the arbitrariness of grades. I despise the arbitrariness in grade reporting times on the part of the professors. Still nothing.

I was thinking about emailing you to ask if you heard anything yet later today. Check after noon.

Just curious because you jumped into the thread on page 14 with nothing to contribute but a knock on my grades.

It wasn't a knock. B+ is not a bad grade by any means. I was just taking a guess.

My bad then. I just got my first semester grades, and it's awkward. I want to celebrate, but everyone keeps shushing me. I'll deal.

This is what I was thinking. The schools that are heavily represented here have all threatened to kill each other if anyone starts revealing grades, so there's no way to benchmark anything.
alts for matriculated students imo. I'd post as the mysterious Darya-ye Noor thereby covering my trail.

Nothing wrong with celebrating with close friends/significant others. That's what I do. Tonight, we're popping a few bottles of this: --LinkRemoved--

That's one house I haven't tried much of. It looks and sounds like a pretty good one though. I'm a big nectar imperial fan.
