Top Law Schools

I applied to this school back in February for the upcoming Fall Semester.

I called yesterday, regarding the status, and they pulled my file.
They stated they looked at my file a few times and he will get back to me.

He called today, and stated the admissions committee is waiting on a grade from a teacher to post to see how many first year students are repeating classes.

They stated they will get back to me in in two weeks to see how much space will be available for future students.

Anyone else heard of such a reason?

This is not a school you want to attend. At respectable law schools, students do not have to repeat classes because they failed.

To be more accurate, any respectable school shouldn't have to worry about failing students period.

Sounds like a dumpster fire disguised as a law school

so I didn't try near as hard this last semester as the first. is that pretty much the norm? 3Ls, id your effort correlate with grades?

not to hijack, but also, say you have an LRW class that is not curved but "normalized" by comparing to other classes, what does this mean? The class avg is 82, I have an 83. My school's median is generous to say the least. how do you think he'll grade? maybe by bumping up the median to one higher letter grade?

meaning if median is usually a B, this class median will be B+ ?

This person hasn't started law school yet. Stop shitting up threads. Read before you reply to posts.

The school sounds like shit, and if you're THAT borderline, you should retake and apply to better schools next year.

Not following - So at respectable law schools, students don't fail?
