Makes me think that people are happy getting a 3.0 or so. It's making me a bit paranoid about my 3.64. Like the median just jumped from a 2.7 to a 3.3 or something. I know that's not true, but still.
I'm sure the people depressed about being below median aren't going to broadcast that they are. Of course everyone is going to say they're fine with what they got.

I'm pretty sure that's just the polite response to people asking how they are. Does anyone really want to hear someone respond "I spent the entire weekend crying and am completely devastated"?

That's what TLS threads are for.

I felt the same way when I got my 4.0. I was so sure that I had completely bombed all of my exams that I just figured they were giving out a ton of As this semester.

Are there still others that have not received ANY of their grades? I noticed from other threads people are getting callbacks and offers from summer employers, and I feel like I am missing out because I have no grades. I am trying to decide if I need to express dissatisfaction with my school.

Most 1L summer employers don't seem to care about grades.

Srsly bro. There's no one around. I'm assuming straight HHs for a 183+ GPA until you say otherwise.

Here's to hoping the two PI interviews I have this week don't ask me for my grades.

So far I've come to the conclusion that those people who said that having just one grade and waiting for the others was worse than having none are full of shit. I have one, it is lower than I was hoping, and it is still better than having NO CLUE.

No grades yet either :( There's a rumor they're coming out on Thursday but I've yet to see any legit information substantiating that claim.

What if that grade is your highest grade.

Will good grades stop you from drinking?

Neither. It just affects what type of alcohol you drink. Top 10%? Champagne. Median? Whiskey. Bottom 10%? Rubbing alcohol.
