Re: 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread
They give out A+s, but the professors are told that it's only for extraordinary circumstances. Top 10% is like 3.5X, currently I'm at 3.85. But I still need my crim grade, which I'm a little worried about.Flips88 wrote:Wow that's weird. Well at least it sounds like your GPA should be in pretty good shape.

It's been like a week and a half since a grade came out for me... I'm still waiting on two more. This wait is excruciating.

This appears to be the year of the TLS.

Definitely self selection -- bunch of lurkers and mostly inactive posters come back to post grades while a lot of regulars keep silent.NYC Law wrote:This appears to be the year of the TLS.

That's mostly because a lot of people from our schools are on here and in this thread so we have to keep them to ourselves.johansantana21 wrote:Definitely self selection -- bunch of lurkers and mostly inactive posters come back to post grades while a lot of regulars keep silent.NYC Law wrote:This appears to be the year of the TLS.

I mean, I'd be satisfied with median and pretty excited for anything above. But then, Duke apparently has a strict policy of not releasing grades, ever.

I thought you meant that people selecting TLS are nerdier and get better grades on average.johansantana21 wrote:

Re: 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread
I spent my entire semester lurking and soaking in the success strats. Posted grades just to claim that if you follow the TLS advice (<3 Arrow), it works - provided you customize it to your profs.
I also sat in the back and never said a word in class. Fulfilling a stereotype is my job.

Re: 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread
I've been a fairly regular poster (though lurked more than posted during the semester), but have avoided saying too much about my grades as I think I'm pretty outed at my school. But screw it, sitting at median atm and terrified for civ pro.

Also sitting with you, and our other classmates at median right now until civ pro comes to play--which very well may be March if last year is any indication about Shaw releasing grades.

Re: 1L Fall Grade Waiting Thread
At Hastings the top 15% hovers around a 3.5 depending on the year. Top 10% is more like 3.6 (but only one year of statistics is provided for that #).Bildungsroman wrote:Not every school has Northwestern's, um, generous grading schemebk187 wrote:O.o That is a really low GPA for top 10%.NYC Law wrote:Top 10% is like 3.5X; I think most grade much tighter around median.

Has Northwestern released their grades yet?
