My current school is one that only ranks top 10%, then top 33% and then top 50%. I just missed the top 10% cutoff, but I'm worried I'll be indistinguishable from those at the bottom of the top 33%, at least at first glance. anyone else in this situation?

I would consider putting the top 10% and 33% cutoffs right on your resume, in addition to your own GPA.

If they provide numerical rankings to go with the percentiles, then you should be fine. Does your school say you're, for example, 11/100?

Nope, they only rank the top 10.

If they provided numerical rankings, could Deseo determine his/her percentile extremely accurately?

I assume you're being sarcastic, however, just thought I'd point it out because Deseo may have overlooked.

Accuracy approaches infinity!

[DeseoQueSea]

the limit does not exist.

calculus jokes, really?

[arstech]

I have been starved for maths ever since coming to law school :p

[arstech]

Also, the limit totally exists.

Nothing about my post is sarcastic.

Edit: OOPS. That should have read "...couldn't Deseo determine blah blah blah." Now I see why it mayv'e come across as sarcasm.

Deseo: this is not rocket science (or calculus), thank god. Put 10/33% cutoffs on your resume.

[selfloathingtransfer]

Nope, they only rank the top 10.

That's really stupid.

I am thoroughly depressed. I applied to 3 schools and got rejected by Berkeley today (a reach, didn't expect it). However, I was complete weeks ago at UCLA and haven't heard back, although schools received my official rank this week. But, people were admitted from my school already! It's so disheartening to face getting rejected for the second year in a row.

Also, I really need to gripe. It pisses me off when people who weren't even passionate about your number one school or even about transferring take your spot. Even worse, people reserving their spot and paying deposits while not withdrawing elsewhere. They are screwing me over!

Yup. It's all their fault.

[selfloathingtransfer]

This was definitely the season for hedging.

[A'nold]

Yeah......

Then give me some good fan mojo.

Still nothing. Not kidding. Have not heard a peep from the following schools:

WUSTL
UW-Seattle
Notre Dame
Minnesota
Emory
Hastings
Vandy

Wow A'nold I feel for you. The silence is the hardest thing in my opinion. Hopefully it will be worth it with good news this week.

you on any W/Ls anywhere?

[A'nold]

Does anyone know W&L's transfer app deadline? I should have applied here, as they seem to give an acceptance out to everybody and their grandmother. Feelin' the pressure of batting 0.00 this late in the game. Don't know if it'd be worth it to transfer, but maybe worth the app for the option, I don't know.

I think it's passed.

1 WL, 0 Acceptances. And now 9 days to homelessness. If anyone is leaving a NY apartment behind in their own transfers, I may be able to take it off your hands. Still debating how long to ride the GULC waitlist.

[A'nold]

Alright, let's take votes. How many people think I'm going to get any news this week other than my Vandy ding in the mail?
