An "A" in property & a "B+" in contracts indicates that you can do well in law school. While you'll probably miss out on biglaw, there are other career paths in the legal field.

This is NOT a credible forum, its satire.
1. Why does banning alternate accounts make a forum not credible? I fail to see the link. If anything, it makes it more credible, because it prevents people from acting like jerks and then making another account to hide from crap they've said in the past.
2. Mods didn't exactly out you. I knew as soon as I read your post that you were the same person from the other thread.
3. I still don't exactly understand why you think the forum isn't "credible." Maybe I could understand why you could argue the forum was mean or rude, but I'm not exactly sure why you say it's not credible. Everyone in the threads you've made has given you honest advice with a good faith basis. Maybe some of it was worded a little harshly, but what do you expect after you went around insulting everyone?

Edited to add: if you hate us so much, why don't you try the folks over at JD underground? I'm sure they'll be much nicer.

Also your school has a B median. (Easy to figure out based on info you gave us). Will not post the school or give more details bc I don't want to out you.

Ahh I'm not sure it's a B. It looks like it's a B- curve because 50-60% of grades are B- or worse, with 10-15% C- or worse. So it would make sense that 2.7 is the median GPA.

True—it's hard to tell. I would wager a guess that the median GPA is somewhere between 2.95 and 3.1 (1L median GPAs tend to be a few hundredths or about a tenth of a point over whatever the median grade is).
