When you say "pretty good," are you thinking like, top 10% of people not in the top 10% good?J Dirksen wrote:Before you ask, I am a little OCD about this.
I know no one is supposed to say whether or not they got a call etc.
However, for you 2 and 3L's, do you know if calls went out over more than one day last semester?
If yesterday was it, I am a little surprised. My GPA is pretty good and I thought my writing portion was pretty good.

I guess I'm not sure what top 10% is after 1L at NU, but I would think I am in that range or quite close to it.IAFG wrote:When you say "pretty good," are you thinking like, top 10% of people not in the top 10% good?J Dirksen wrote:Before you ask, I am a little OCD about this.

Lot's of people just outside the top 10% range are not on LR. E.g. half the people on JCLC.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
If 3.9 is Coif, assuming two years of grade inflation, then it has to be below 3.9 for 1L's.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
I think that grade inflation at the upper tiers is less significant than it is between 3.3 and 3.7. Profs don't always hand out A+s in uncurved classes like candy but they are not going to hand out a lot of B+ dragging the middle of the class closer to the top but not giving the top much room to inflate.purpletiger wrote:If 3.9 is Coif, assuming two years of grade inflation, then it has to be below 3.9 for 1L's.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
Also, someone with a high GPA after 1L isn't necessarily going to ace ITA, ethics, negotiations, structured transactions, or clinic, which involve different skills, or fed jur, con crim pro, etc, which involve more competitive curves.D-hops wrote:I think that grade inflation at the upper tiers is less significant than it is between 3.3 and 3.7.

Re: Northwestern 3Ls Taking Questions and Challenges
I still find it hard to believe that not ONE person has indicated they know someone who got a call.
Nonetheless, it is what it is. OCI is the next battle. See you there bitches.
